Kalyn Josephson and 8 other people liked Brittney Arena's review of The Library of Amorlin (The Age of Beasts, #1): "I was lucky enough to read an early copy of The Library of Amorlin, and the amount of squeals that left my lips during the 48 hours I took to devour it, and I do mean DEVOUR, was uncanny. You need this book. Trust me."
