This #YEAHYA book tour were being held at several B&N’s. I called 3. THREE...

But the greatest obstacle for saving mankind isn’t the bizarre creatures, extreme betrayals and magic-fearing men hunting them. It’s that Akara doesn’t believe the world is worth saving. I think for me this is one of the best...
