He's headed to the top floor, on a mission to meet the goddess.

Reviewed: 09-15-16
Great writing, loved the story, remarkable characters.
A gripping tale of axe slashing adventure and a great amount of horror ( mostly one sided.) Couldn't get enough before the end of book one.
Editing seemed to not be a thing though. Poor Tim GR, he sounds great but there are a few issues. Still worth a read or listen to for any Fantasy lover young or old.
