Gregor the Overlander

Just a mini review of this one, since I read it out of the blue and also I just want to jot down some notes. This book was the SWEETEST Fantasy that I've read in a long time. I have no doubt in my mind that teenage Jessica would have loved this to the moon and back (she also loved Redwall for the same reason), because it's just so fun. Oh sure, it's dark too. There is war, and death, like every good Fantasy should have. Suzanne Collins writes this in a way that is accessible by middle graders and young adults alike though and, if I prove anything, even 34 year old women who needed something kind to her soul to start off the year. I had a blast listening to this on audio, and I think I'm going to binge the rest of these this year.

Absolutely, 100%, recommended.
