The destruction of the majority of the direwolves is a big reason I stopped liking this series. Kill all the humans,Continue reading “The Twelve best fantasy creature characters, part two”

Most of the best fantasy stories have about a hundred moving parts that add to the enjoyment of a story. The characters, the magic structure, the world building.
