The Firemane Saga #2
Dark and powerful forces threaten the world of Garn once more in this second novel in legendary New York Times bestselling author Raymond E. Feist’s epic fantasy series, the Firemane Saga.
King of Ashes has a severe case of ‘First Book Syndrome.’ Introducing and maneuvering the main cast into position for Queen of Storms takes up the majority of the book.

Blood Bound is the second book in the Mercy Thompson series and builds on the great foundation of Moon Called. Tensions are high, the danger is real, and the sass is splendid. Exactly how I like my urban fantasy.

It’s been years since I read this book. With a new entry in the series on the shelf, I felt that it was an excellent time to start re-reading the series. This book starts the series out with a howl and introduces a great protagonist.

A good plot is not enough to save a book where I only like one character. I hope it gets better in the next two books, but I’m not holding my breath.
