Overall Rating: 4 stars (Really Liked It!) I read 5 Wheel of Time Books this year because I wanted to catch up with the series, now that Sanderson is working on the last installment.

Book Review: Monster Hunter International by Larry Correia

Yes, it's that kind … Continue reading Book Review: Monster Hunter International by Larry Correia

Sanderson is often noted for his … Continue reading Warbreaker – My Favorite Sanderson Novel
