"I read this book earlier in the year and adored it. So much so that I was waiting anxiously for book 2. Thankfully I have the ARC to read over Christmas. Publishers and Netgalley, my heartfelt thanks.

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
