        Today's book review is on Shadows of Swanford Abbey by Julie Klassen. I enjoyed this book immensely! Almost every spare minute of the last few days were spent reading it.

If you have not read Cloak of the Light, this post will contain some spoilers for that book. If I’m being completely honest, I didn’t read this second book until I’d read the first and last book twice through. I already had all three books at my disposal, and this second book isn’t quite as directly related to Drew...
