The fact that I picked this one up as soon as I spotted this in my local bookshop this week, is all down to reading one of Peters’ longer works, the fantastic Between Mom and Jo.
And I’m glad I did, because this once again showcases Julie Anne Peter’s skill as a writer. However I didn’t [...]

A slightly odd one this. It should come as no surprise to you that I’m a fan of Mr Marsden’s writing, and his writing in this is up to his usual standard. Moving, and as thought provoking as ever.

Katsa, is a graceling.  A person with an exceptional skill in a particular area. Katsa’s ‘grace’ is the ability to kill, and this along with her fearsome reputation across all the [...]
