[Dragaera] I reviewed Hawk. :-/

[Scott Courtney via Dragaera]

I rather enjoy the small in scale stories that offer up juicy tidbits for what I assume will be a major plot advance sometime in the next few novels.
Thank you for this forum. I don't often post, but thoroughly enjoy reading the nuanced assessments of the regular contributors.

I found this to be a very refreshing old-style Vlad tale; where he sees a problem, goes out and tackles it in his own way, and comes out of the experience a little wiser, and a little more prepared for what is to some next.
