Mid Year Book Freak Out Tag 2020 | BOOK TAG

                                          Best book you’ve read so far Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson . It has become my all time favorite Sanderson novel( see review here ). This fast paced high fantasy has everything from great characters to political intrigue to plot twists to hilarious dialogues – all the ingredients for a good time.                                                                              Best sequel you’ve read so far I have only read one sequel this year and that was Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi  ( see review here ) .
