Stolen Mayfly Bride Review
Lyrical, beautifully written prose in an unputdownable story of romantic fantasy--that's Stolen Mayfly Bride by Sarah K. L. Wilson. When she only lives one day out of the year, how can they be together? Somewhere early on, I began to care very deeply about Vidar and...
Graceling Review
