Staff Pick
An unforgettable journey through a nightmarish, unpredictable landscape with characters that will soon become your best friends, and your worst enemies. Epic in scope but reads like a freight train, Swan Song is moving and terrifying and probably my favorite book — ever. At one point during my first reading, I had to take a break because my heart was about to burst. Its cult following and rarity to find used in bookstores just proves that this book is something truly special. Recommended By Heather A., Powells.com
