My son chose this book today with me on our trip into town.
It's really good! He's already designed his own fantasy map and wrote the things he's encountered in a journey across the map.
Maybe I'll be promoting his books in a few years 👀

I generally don't buy 2nd copies but I had to use my last birthday book vouchers for the updated edition of A Sword of Bronze and Ashes for the matching sprayed edges, premium feel, extra chapter and matching spines.
And I'm glad I did 😍

I downloaded a book that is not my usual sort of fantasy read at all, but I'm always up for new experiences!
