Welcome to the fifth edition of Giantkiller, the Goldenlake Tamora Pierce Fanzine!
This is the special anniversary edition of Giantkiller - we released the very first edition a whole year ago.
Our format is interactive - all articles are summarised in this post, with links provided to the full articles, where readers can comment and discuss the articles. A full PDF version of the fanzine will become available in a few weeks on the Goldenlake Resources site, should you wish to obtain a copy of it.
