this was pretty good submitted by gabbietucker on June 19, 2018, 2:44pm interesting and nice story
Good start to a series submitted by kassafrass on June 21, 2019, 8:58am Book 1 of this series starts off with some strong similarities to LOTR, but really goes in its own direction in the remainder of the books.
The Naming submitted by Angela Argento on August 20, 2020, 3:45pm This is the first book in an excellent series about a girl heroine in a Tolkien-esk world. Highly recommended for kids and teens (even adults like me!)
