Troll Cries By: Ashley C. Harris Published: January 31, 2017 Source: ebook, Netgalley ARC from publisher ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Abby and Wilhelm's adventure continues in a game of deadly secrets and magical warfare. Who will remain human and who will escape alive becomes anybody's guess when trolls and knights are involved. TROLL CRIES, the sequel to Ashley C. Harris's international bestselling novel TROLL, will leave her readers gasping for more.   MY REVIEW: It's not you....it's me? I'm not completely sure, but whatever the reason/s, it took me entirely too long to finish this book. From March 2nd to April 13th to be exact. Blame it on my kids busy schedule...blame it on my attention being elsewhere, blame it on the book not keeping me fully invested. There was a lot of reasons really why I just didn't feel like picking this one back up but I didn't really want to DNF it either. So I pushed on....and on....and on. For 42 stink...
