William McCormick liked Bronte Roberts's review of House of Tigers: "I received a review copy for free via Book Sirens and I am leaving this honest review voluntarily.

William’s Quotes

“Stories to read are delitabill (delightful)
Suppose that they be nocht but fable (fiction)
Then should stories that suthfast were (truthful)
- And they were said in good manner -
Have double pleasure in hearing.
The first pleasance is the carping (reading aloud)
And the tothir the suthfastness
That shows the thing richt as it was;”
― John Barbour
