Damsel, Elana K. Arnold – Book Review

My Top 5 Books that Feature…DRAGONS!
It is a fact commonly known (to me) that the one thing that can improve any book or book series is in fact a Dragon. I think it's partly because they are just so fantastical that they instantly let you know the kind of world you are in and the level of magic and fantasy... Continue Reading →
