Beryllahawk Y'all are making me want to learn Spanish enough to go read all these books in their native tongue. (This is a big deal: I'm extremely bad at learning languages) Even without that my TBR pile is growing exponentially O. O (Keep going! I do hope you'll cover poetry along the way, but it's early in the series)
