Why read it?
1 author picked Against Walls as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I started the year with another re-read of the Amgalant books, and I adore them more than ever! I never want to leave this steppe (as wide and deep as a world) and these people (as well known and well loved as the best of friends). These epic tales include such marvellous humour, brilliant writing, fascinating characters and wonderful setting. It doesn't get better than that.
