763271 Woot! I just got my copy of The Archer's Heart in the mail today...all 656 pages!

The book will be for sale on Amazon starting in August. Once it's for sale there then it should show up here... and I'd love to hear what you think!

Thanks so much,

Astrid

763271 August is still a little ways off, so I got impatient and added the book myself.

I'll be sure to post my thoughts when I'm done reading. :)
