Willa of the Wood – Book Review

Willa of the Wood by Robert Beatty

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An epic fantasy that doesn't disappoint. If you like Sanderson, Hobb, Jordan, and Rothfuss, then this will be right up your alley. For those concerned with content, this is not a book for teens. There is sexuality and violence, but no vulgar cursing ...more
