A Literary Thief

The Legacy of Skur Volume One by L.F. Falconer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an incredible book. It teases you away from reality and drops you firmly in a new land, with all its beauty and ugliness laid bare before you. It’s an art, to steal the reader’s attention without them even noticing it.
