I wanted to give a shoutout to a story called by Briizy, buuuuut..... I realized that I had established a pattern of sending super-awesome gifts first, and to just give a shoutout without a gift would break the habit.

  So, I paid a Canadian dude I found on the internet to make a few hundred daggers carved out of ice and shipped them overnight on a refrigerated plane (I learned my lesson when I mailed the kittens) to be air-dropped over the Author's house.

  Now I know what some of you are thinking - that sounds a lot like an anime fight end scene, and you're right! Because that's exactly what I had to tell the pilot to convince him not to attach tiny parachutes to the daggers. Parachutes might make for a safer delivery, sure, but then the ice would melt on the way down which would ruin the whole gift.

  Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.

  That outta the way, I can now proceed to the shoutout:

  Rise of the Firstborn is worth checking out. It's got a bit of an Alice-in-Wonderland meets Frozen feel to it, if you overlook stabbing people with ice magic and other cool stuff like that.

  UPDATE: Apparently dropping ice daggers is dangerous and the author suffered a loss of one ear and three toes. Hired two more Canadians to begin mailing her toes and ears so that she would have a selection of replacements to choose from.
