The Blight of Muirwood Review

Title: The Blight of MuirwoodAuthor: Jeff WheelerDate Purchased: 3/7/2015Price Paid: $1.99Date Finished: 2/5/2021Rating: 3/5 There’s always a good deal of pressure on the second work of a trilogy, especially if the first was of a decent quality.

The Heroes Review (Rule Three)

Title: The HeroesAuthor: Joe AbercrombieDate Purchased: 11/24/2013Price Paid: $2.11Date Finished: 11/20/2020Rating: 0/5 (Rule Three) Wow.
