Magical Mystery Ride

A Girl Called Echo Omnibus (Combined Volume) by Katherena Vermette

November 2, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

A while back, I read the first volume in A Girl Called Echo series. And recently I was given a finished copy of the Omnibus. I like the word omnibus. I picture a large bus that has wings or something magical about it.
