WELCOME TO WELL RED REVIEWS
'I'm afraid you're entirely bonkers...
But I'll tell you a secret, all the best people are.'
Welcome to Well Red Reviews, where I review and give my (honest) opinions about the books I read!
Named after my hair colour and adoration of all things fiction (not for my political leanings).
Mostly fantasy (but with a side of Dorothy Dunnett obsession!) but never including a spoiler. Enjoy!
