    Growing up as a reader there was always questions that filled my head. Now these question were not always about reading. I’ve just naturally wondered why things happen they way they do and normally I got answers to my questions by google or by asking those around me for answers. My questions about books were always left answered because no one in my family reads and they do not have contact with the authors to be able to answer my burning questions. When I started Isamonkey’s Reviews I wanted to change that. I wanted to understand why the author chose to kill off a well-loved character or how they came…

    Summary A darkness seems to hang over the lands of Conall, slowly but surely growing in strength with each passing year. This all comes to a head when the twelve daughters of King Muir begin to disappear each night.
