Blackthorn key volume 1.
Average Rating:
4.2 stars
Notes:
The blackthorn key is one of the best well written books I've ever read! Usually I don't like books set in the sixteen and seventeen hundreds, but theis book was a big exeption. There is a little bit of blood and violence, but i think that makes for a good story.
