While I love history, anthropology, and criminalistics, I was only vaguely acquainted with Michael Collins before reading Sigerson’s The Assassination of Michael Collins. I decided to give it a read after coming across a blurb. I found the cover a bit chaotic, though. If I had seen a paperback version first, I probably wouldn’t have looked […]

The middle part was her own efforts at treating the phobias. The final part delved into how fear affects the […]
Servant of the Crown was a great finale to the amazing Dragonslayer series! One character, Boudain, really surprised me. He stepped up and at least tried, instead of acting like a young, spoiled royal. It’s clear he has the potential to be a great ruler. Another character I really liked died in this book too. I understand the […]
