    My favorite book in June was Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson. I was kind of like you. I read Mistborn books 1 and 2 and liked the books, but didn’t love them like everyone else does. So I went into Warbreaker with very low expectations. I was blown away! The characters, story, and ending were all so good. I highly recommend this book if you want to give Brandon Sanderson another try. And it’s a standalone which is even better. Everything was wrapped up so well.

    Can't wait for A song to Drown Rivers to be released in October!
