Recs if you like Assassin's Quest...

A collection of the finales of some of our favorite series here on PB! If we get a badge for starting these series, we should have something to push us to finish them as well!

Tears may be shed now that the stories are over, but cheers to the accomplishment of completing and loving them✨
