Song of the Dragon by Tracy Hickman

12 August 2012 Trish 4

I really wanted to like Song of the Dragon by Tracy Hickman. I was a big fan of the Dragonlance series and I was excited to read it, but I was terribly disappointed. Drakis returns from the War of the Nineth Throne — the last of the great dwarven wars — […]

Thoroughly Kissed by Kristine Grayson

8 August 2012 Casey 1

There is nothing more annoying that being indifferent to a book. Loving it is great because they you can run around fangirl screaming about it; hating it gives you something to complain about; but with indifference, there’s nothing to say.
