Review: Spring’s Arcana
Spring's Arcana is an enjoyable opening to The Dead God's Heart duology. Follow Nat as she enters a world of gods in attempt to save her mother's life, or at least pay the hospital bills. Flying vans, car monsters, and a Cinderella moment make this a fun fantasy despite it being an incomplete story. Highly recommended.

The result could be an end to the peace between humans and orcs. Warden Aelis de Lenti is the only hope to stop the evil before war once again breaks out. Highly recommended, especially for fans of Brandon Sanderson.
