Musings on Books to Video Games and Everything In Between
This one was actually a lot harder to write then I thought it would be! I don't know if it's because I read a ton of fantasy set in more urban environments, or if I read books that have forests in them, but not in a way where they feel like the "star" environment of... Continue Reading →

The list I've assembled is by no means exhaustive, but contains all the fantasy books that I, personally, am incredibly excited... Continue Reading →
