The Reading Room · weekly read-along

Rise

Gathering readers · target start September 14

A brand new tower to climb, read the week it is still warm from release. Four weeks through a story where the monsters live in glass orbs and the wagers are paid in years. Day one readers and serial veterans both welcome; the lobby stays spoiler free.
