I have to say this is my favorite of the Terry Brook books so far and the second one I read. It was by far the most touching. I was crying by the end, and I don’t cry that easily. You'll love the characters and Terry Brooks really makes you feel their pain and happiness and sorrow. I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever had a pulse. This is one of my favorite books of all time and I’ve read a lot of books.
