Stuff and Things and also a Starred PW Review
The best thing about Graceling tattoos is that if you happen to be two years old, they take up half your forearm. Behold my Gollancz cover, for the UK edition! I think it’s gorgeous and striking and I love the atmosphere. It isn’t faithful to the character’s actual wardrobe (no, I don’t generally clothe my… Read more »
