Eye of the Storm

The End of Oak Street hits all the right nostalgic notes for a family adventure clearly inspired by the '80s most iconic sci fi films.

When I first started reading Torsten Weitze's The Tower of Beggars, I was expecting something similar to the Harry Potter books. What I got instead was an entirely unique story filled with tales of gods and inequality.
