Thank you so much! Honestly, when we didn't get DSD in, we figured we were out of the running, so this is a real shock. Regardless, we really appreciate the kind words!
Enjoyed this one a lot. Really liked Aldious and Ellbi, and the end of the DSD part got me excited for a continuation that's never coming. Getting the choice of weapons related to some of the other characters was really cool, too.
Loved the synopsis for each book at the beginning and the cool way in which they were presented. Really nice little town to explore, and there is a simple joy in scooting around as this version of Ziv. Really good job!
