Book Review: Castle of Blood by CL Werner

SPOILER ALERT: This review contains significant spoilers for Castle of Blood. Recently I reviewed the Cursed City prequel novel, a decidedly odd book limited by the circumstances of its existence. Flawed though it is, I enjoyed Werner's writing in it, and...
