Wonderful story

4 stars

A great story that straddled the line between literary and pop much better than the shoplit I've been listening to lately. I love a yarn about some guy going to some place and having misadventures along the way, I sure do. Better yet the themes of pride and the balance with nature and each other that comes from a devotion to living well. To living with mistakes as well as coming to terms with them as we try to make it right. IDK, I have a cold.

Rock solid

4 stars

Okay Ursula, I get it. Carl Jung blew my mind too. Jokes aside? genuinely very compelling fantasy. Wish I grew up reading this instead of Harry Potter.

Hmm

No rating

Uuuhm. I enjoyed it, and for a "men doing things while talking in a complicated way" fantasy story this is very very good. Still... I asked myself why a few times.
