What to say? I can't even give Stormdancer a rating. Were it was good it blew past the five star system and started claiming impossible six and seventh stars. Where it was bad it fazed into indifference, a very scary place for a book to be fore me. The amazing: Just about everything past the first h...

Did I really love it as much as I thought I did? Was it really a 4.5 read? It took me +1 month to realize that no, I...
Stormdancer has such a distinctive feel that impacted me as a reader. The mix of rich Japanese-like culture and folklore with a dystopian twist. The main character is a brave but troubled young woman who earns my loyalty and encourages me to stand up for what I personally believe in.But the one thi...
