Kirt liked Matthew Patrick's review of The Hero's Fall: A Chronicle of Valsavia and Almária: "So this one is a slow burn in the best way. After a brief opening battle with traitorous savages, we skip ahead to deal with our hero, Doekstava, and his seemingly mundane problems in an established province. This book actually takes the time to buil" Read more of this review »
