By Jayne • Jun 18th, 2008 • Category: B Reviews Category, B+ Reviews, Reviews

Dear Ms Novik,
I’m so glad I waited until now to read “Empire of Ivory” even though I’ve had a copy in my hot little hands, well actually piled on top of my TBR heap by my computer, for months now. Something told me to wait, to keep it in reserve until closer [...]
