This week was much lower key than the giant pile from last week; I received one ARC. (And it’s another October book – there are so many books on the review pile that look good coming out that month!) The Spirit Thief by Rachel Aaron This is Rachel Aaron’s debut novel and the first book in the Legend of Eli Monpress series.
