Oh man, this one got me 😭 excellent coming of age story. Such wonderful growth and reflection among the characters, and an interesting deep dive into morality. I love all the old Celtic stories woven throughout these books. Very creative and easy to read—if you’re intimidated by the Lord of the Rings I’d recommend starting with these books!!
