Shadow on the Crown

Our meeting for April has been postponed until 4/25 - more time for me to decide whether to buy hardback or kindle version. The kindle is easier to read but I do love putting Post-Its in a hardback.

At any rate, our book DOES have questions, as well as a brief summary and author interview. It is also the first of a planned trilogy.
