Whoa, new review, who dis? It's been some time since I've smashed my words on this here blog.

But *cracks knuckles* I'm back for some book ranting. Genre: YA Fantasy Category: Emotional Read Want to know more about how we categorize books? See our Glossary for details. Pairing: Gold

How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories is a gorgeous book, from cover to content.

I was lucky to receive my preordered copy a week before the book’s release. If that wasn’t blessing enough, it came just before visiting another city for work. I read a good chunk while en route, then spent the weekend trying to embody some of the lessons and practices. I honestly feel it helped me exper
