Industry Reviews

Better In Black was such a fun collection of short stories to jump back into the swing of things as we await The Last King Of Faerie, and I feel that it did a brilliant job with setting the scene for the upcoming trilogy. I know we’re expecting A LOT of drama and chaos and angst coming up, so Better In Black’s (somewhat) lighthearted nature is much appreciated. - tripleareads via instagram
