I have a new review of Rise of the Champion, by Clara C. Johnson, up on ManyBooks.net.
Rise of the Champion, by Clara C. Johnson, is a fantasy novel with strong friendships and many surprising twists.
Serra, a human orphan, and Finn, the dwarf who found and raised her since childhood, are seeking work in the city of Adhelm. Finn is a loyal and caring companion, although he finds hugs and straightforward affection much too human for his tastes. At first, Serra and Finn’s goals are basically to earn enough for a warm bed, new boots, and some ale, through whatever semi-legal gigs come their way.
