Dawn of the Void by Phil Tucker is a highly addictive adrenaline rush fueled by a constant wave of dopamine to the brain. I can’t possible understate this.
When Phil reached out and offered me an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC), I jumped at the chance.
It’s a beefy book, clocking in at 150,000 words, or roughly 600 pages. At first, …
Looking for the Wings of Fire books in order? Start with the main novels in publication order, then add the Legends books, Winglets short stories, graphic novels, and companion books once you know how complete you want your read-through to be.

As soon as I finished The Last Graduate, I knew I needed …

Thank you to Net Galley and Hodder & Stoughton for providing this complimentary book so that I might write a review of The Dragon’s Promise by Elizabeth Lim.
