I posted a great new review of Worldshaper from Literary Titan recently. That was followed up with a brief interview, which is now live here.

The Worldshapers series, where Shawna is tasked with travelling from world to world within a vast interdimensional Labyrinth of Shaped worlds, gathering the knowledge of their making to take to the mysterious Ygrair so she can save all of these worlds from the Adversary, likewise permits any kind of story I want to tell…
