  Page Count: 168 Pages Well… The plan, for last night, was to finish off ‘The Shattered And The Soulless’ in time for today’s post and I was on track to get it done too.

The title of the post gives it away really, I finished Volume 1 and, yesterday, went straight out for a copy of Volume 2. That should tell you everything really but that would make for a very short post so… Lets see if I can give you a little more than that.
