A new review just landed on Goodreads from the one and only S.K. Putt - thank you!

All the stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Those don't even come close to how beautiful it is. Seriously, I struggled to pick which part of it to quote here!

No better feeling than your book connecting ✨📖

❓What are you reading? 📖
I was a little nervous for The Strength of the Few. I loved book 1 and had heard mixed experiences about book 2.
But pleased to say it’s working for me! Yep, all the POVs. 270 pages in and still a bit off half way (😂). Excited to see where it goes

Thrilled to announce that @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social is selling the jacketed hardcover of Perils of the Past:
• Hand-signed and numbered
• Limited to 100 copies
• with a bonus A5 double-sided colour art card.
I had a blast signing tip-in sheets. And the art cards came out so well.

Excited to dive into this (and a smidge nervous, given some of the reviews I’ve seen and how much I loved book 1). Also, yeah, it’s a properly thick book!

Love this interior artwork Anderson Magalhães did for Perils of the Past. So much so that I needed it on my wall. Just hung this Christmas present in the study - and so happy with it.
Q: Do you have any book art, e.g. a poster on your wall or a tattoo?

Submitted Perils of the Past to #SPFBO. Fingers crossed I make it past the lottery (and, if you've entered, I hope you do, too). Best of luck, all. What an incredible comp.
