Bound Feet by Kelsea Yu

Josh’s first review of the year

it was amazing
BOUNT FEET by Kelsea Yu is on a whole new level when it comes to scares! This is just plain creepy, but, that's not the selling point.

Inheritance by Christopher Paolini

Josh’s last review of the year

it was amazing
INHERITANCE: Or The Vault of Souls is a more mature and fantasy-fashionable novel than its predecessors in that Paolini incorporates more core fantasy elements; magic, epic battles, the fall and rise of kingdoms, politics, many mythical creatures, and dangerous adventures ensure INHERITANCE is never dull nor a one sided affair. The POV storytelling gets bumped up a notch too with Roran, Eragon, Arya, Nasuda amongst others given chapters to tell t ...more
