K.T. Pike liked Nathalie Edward's review of The Shadow of What Was Lost (The Licanius Trilogy, #1): "This took ages to finish but only because the plot and character development is so rich. If you like complex world-building and extremely layered plots with multiple character POVs this is THE book for you. I honestly enjoyed every second, I couldn't " Read more of this review »

Magical, heartbreaking, and bittersweet, this book had me crying at the end. Maybe I'm feeling extra emotional today, but I found myself stopping my chores so I could listen more fully to the audiobook. Sounds Like Love is a love story, not just abou ...more
