At Forests and Fiction, I write about books (and other things) that I love
In 2021 I began reading for pleasure again for the first time in a decade. What started as a passive hobby is now a full-fledged passion.

The world is wonderfully unique, the characters are witty and original, and Owen’s storytelling is top-notch in every respect. I devoured the first book and namesake of this series a couple of months ago and felt like…
