So I didn’t even try, Who could resist this combination of books and dragons? Certainly not this reader. This second book is [...]| Escape Reality, Read Fiction!
My Review: I’m attempting to be a bit - just a bit - more deliberate in my Hugo reading this year, so I’ll be reviewing all of the Best Novelette nominees before moving on to the Best Short Story nominees. With one exception for Lake of Souls by Ann Leckie because I reviewed that year [...]| Escape Reality, Read Fiction!
