The Tulip Driven Life

In conjunction with the CSFF Blog Tour, I received a free copy of this book from the publisher. Purchase The Orphan King here and The Fortress of Mist here . REVIEW: 3 OUT OF 5 STARS FOR EACH I have decided to review both of these books together since they belong together. I remember Sigmund Brouwer from when I was a kid.
