5-Star Books in 5 Words – Fantasy
Welcome to our new monthly feature – 5-Star Books in 5 Words!
This month, in-line with the Wyrd and Wonder feature on Twitter (have we mentioned that yet? Jokes), we’re focusing on Fantasy books. Each month we’ll focus on a different genre, and recommend you five different books that we gave five stars, and describe them using only five words.
We’d love to hear your five-star recommendations too! Comment below.
