Eve is a teen girl, post-apocalyptic mechanic-slash-robot demolition derby fighter, partly enhanced herself by some rigged up … Continue reading Review: Lifel1k3
3.5 out of 5 stars 147 hours and 43 minutes of audiobook. Just over six entire days. The complete Throne of Glass series. To call the Throne of Glass series "epic" is a laughable understatement. Sarah J. Maas's truest talent lays in the insane scope of her worlds. From one land to another, then to other … Continue reading Review: Kingdom of Ash
