Review: Chuck Wendig’s BLACKBIRDS

Review: Among Others
(Cross-posted to Seven Deadly Divas) Last week, I asked why our heroes and heroines are all big fans of the classics, but very rarely read books that are contemporary. Shortly thereafter, I got my grimy paws on Jo Walton’s Among … Continue reading
