Posted on March 9, 2016 7 Comments

As a reader, few things make me happier than picking up a sequel and liking it even more than the first book. And sometimes, it simply takes the second book to get a series to really take off! Brian Staveley’s Providence of Fire, Jeff Salyard’s Veil of the Deserters, and–as you can see from my review of […]
