the characters are the heart and soul of this series. everything else—the politics, action, plot, world building, etc—is perfect, but it's the characters that rlly make it! i love them all SO much!
A heroic tale continuing on this great introduction to epic fantasy for younger readers. Far more adventure and comradeship than the previous, more serious entry - which to be honest was a welcome relief. The author's skill seems to be on full show, combining moral and educational details with humour and heroic action in just the right amounts - and bringing it all to an excellent and satisfying conclusion.
I absolutely adore this series. I'm so glad I started it. Just... wow.
There are issues to be faced, there is character growth, and the characters are obviously getting older (mentally and emotionally).
Fascinating series that pulls at my heart.
Looking forward to the next.
