The second book in The Crusader Chronicles book and what a sequel it is! When I read Saye's first book in the series, Storm of War, I remember being surprised by how captivating the story way. Being an archaeologist by profession, I often find that I don't enjoy historical fiction and mysteries as much as... Continue Reading →

Book Review: The Boy In The Cellar by Stephen Smith

So when I came across a cheap paperback copy of it in Oslo airport a... Continue Reading →
