REVIEW: Cold Silver for Souls by @toritalks2.bsky.social 💙
"It’s dark, it’s gritty, it’s so darn cool, but most of all, it’s a soul-stirring tale of growth, change, connection, healing and the unimaginable resilience of the human spirit."

Just wrapped up Dread Knight by @andrewdmth.bsky.social and it has cemented The Kallattian Saga as one of my all time favorite fantasy series.
If you are interested in a classic epic fantasy vibe but in a truly unique setting, I can't recommend these books enough!
