Harrow
Every spring, Aurelius Harrow returns to the Statuary with tales from his travels. This year, he brings back more than rumors.
Brutal, ruthless, ambitious--the Pred live up to their reputation as wolves of the world. When Old Master Platt named one of them as his successor, disgruntled potentials walked away from the Gray Mountain. And in the months and years to follow, journeymen and stone merchants alike give Morven a wide berth. Master Freydolf's isolation might have been complete if it weren't for Aurelius Harrow.
For two years, Tupper Meadowsweet has kept his promise to be brave and do his best. But during the spring when he turns thirteen, Aurelius returns to the Statuary with something other than blocks of magical stone and gossipy tidbits. Master Freydolf must rely on Tupper more than ever as they spend a season dealing with runaways, star-crossed lovers, skittish villagers, and rumors of a thirteenth magical mountain. But the greatest mystery of all may be Tupper himself, for the boy's affinity for stone defies explanation.
Excerpt: (from Harrow, Chapter 3)
Not long after Aurelius carelessly heaped their dishes in the sink for Tupper to wash, a rattle came from the direction of the courtyard. The merchant darted to the big double doors with impressive speed and was outside before Freydolf had closed his sketchbook. Moments later, he reappeared, hands clasped over his heart. "I hope you know that lad is a treasure beyond price!"
With a slow blink, Frey answered, "Aye."
Hurrying over to grasp the other Pred by the shoulders, Aurelius exclaimed, "He is the uppermost of all underlings, a luminary among lackeys!" With a small shake to emphasize each accolade, he continued, "A superlative servant! A magnificent minion! A paragon among peons!"
Chuckling over the man's raptures, Freydolf asked, "What? Did he bring you a keg of spiced ale from Master Platt's private cellars?"
Momentarily distracted, Aurelius whispered, "Are there any left? That would be a find!"
With a small tap, Tupper peeped around the edge of the door. "Are you helping, Aurelius? We're ready."
"Aye!" the Pred sang out. "I am, and gladly!"

Harrow by C. J. Milbrandt is the second book in the Galleries of Stone trilogy, and picks up a few years after the events of Meadowsweet.
Freydolf and Tupper's world continues to expand as new characters find their way to the magical mountain that they call home. The story is heavily character-driven, showcasing Milbrandt's ability to bring characters to life before your eyes. Hints of faraway places, glimpses of magic, and enough mystery to keep you wondering what's going to happen next are carefully balanced, and make this book a true experience.
I found Harrow to be a much more exciting book overall. The story built as steadily as the first book, but the reveals and twists in Harrow threw me completely. By the second half of the book, I was pretty much stuck reading until the end. It was impossible to set it aside!

Still a very adorable book. I do love the characters and I love the message of acceptance and love of one another as a family/ friend network. The only criticisms I have is that I wish there might be more push with the characters as far as breaking “tradition”. They talk about the racial difference and acceptance of one another and not caring what the community says but I feel like it would be nice if there wasn’t such a gender divide. Personally for me, I’m femme non-binary as an adult but we didn’t really have words to really express how I fit in society when I was a child. And I always felt out of place, got made fun, and treated as an outcast because I didn’t meet the traditional standards of society. Even if it’s just simple as characters being accepted by loved ones for having personal interest differences that break away from traditional expectation would be nice. While Harrow breaks away from her family and does break that tradition eventually, she still feels the need to fit in as a “female” in society’. Hang out with the other women, have a daughter, etc. Now saying her character has issues. She’s fun and independent. But while all of the women are independent, it still seems that there’s a strong divide of men are men and women are women and they do their expected things. Even Tupper feeling required to have a mate at 13. He could also just live his life single and not interested in anyone and it still be accepted. I think there so much pressure in saying when you grow up you must marry and produce offspring. Fray didn’t but because he was also shunned from his home society (which isn’t a choice). So I just feel like there’s a little bit lacking in some more diversity. But other than that a still cute book.

Every fall and spring, Aurelius Harrow comes to the mountain of Morven where his brother-in-law Freydolf is Keeper. He brings food and supplies, trades uncut stone for Freydolf's masterpieces, and provides some much-needed company. But this year is different. This year, Aurelius is going to be staying for a while.
This book continues a few years after Meadowsweet, with Tupper a little more grown up and a lot more comfortable in his role. Tupper continues to open up Morven in surprising ways, as additional people are coming to the nearly-empty halls that he and Freydolf occupy. It's beautiful to see how the story keeps extending the sense of family---first with Aurelius, then with other Meadowsweets, who not only dare to flout the typical fear of Pred but work on making their new friends more welcome in the rest of the village.
And Ulrica, Freydolf's sister, finally makes an appearance. She's thoroughly Pred, though in a slightly different way than Aurelius (I love how Tupper marks Aurelius as the prettiest of the lot . . . he's so vain about clothing).
And in between all the marriage and babies and family happenings, Tupper's also starting to think about his own future, and the person he might want to share it with. It's funny to watch him approaching his future love life much the same way he approaches anything else: methodical, thoughtful, and unusual. Because Tupper's short list of requirements is less about how she looks and more about whether or not she can put up with living statues and fearsome Pred without flinching.
It's also fun to see that although Tupper may be the most exceptional Meadowsweet, in his own way, he's hardly the only one. His family did a great deal to make him who he is, so once they're committed to the Preds as family, they're in all the way. And his family has their own secrets . . .
Overall, I loved seeing the world expanding, and the magic expanding too. This is a great followup. I rate this book Highly Recommended.

Tupper nodded tentatively, but he wasn’t so sure. What kind of person showed affection with sharp criticism, thinly-veiled insults, and death threats? Upon serious consideration, Tupper realized that the answer should have been obvious. A sister.

My reviews are my own. If you liked this book, I’m glad you enjoyed it. If not, I respect your opinion. This is merely my opinion, so let's keep it courteous. My review is honest and voluntary.
Incredibly sweet story and beautifully written. It is labeled as young adult, but the vocabulary and message may be more suitable for an adult audience. Regardless of the target age, it is a fun adventure, a slow slice-of-life book. Do not expect extreme action or adventure. It is not.
However, I did have an issue with this one because it pushed the traditional family structures of having a wife and kids as if there were no other options for a happy family. I do not believe authors should pressure the idea of a normative. It is ok if they want the character to marry and have kids, but it should not be written as the only socially acceptable arrangement, especially when you have 2 MCs that are supposed to be so unique. We also get a boy/girl division of traditions and behaviors. If this book were targeted to YA, we should not be telling them that the only options are boy/girl and that they have to follow traditional gender roles. Not sure I will be reading book 3, I do not support bigoted ideals.
On to my next adventure, Happy Readings!!!

Another Sweet Hot!
I love the characters in these books. The ones that are now old friends and the new ones that have been added. Ulrica is bold and brave and just a little scary! As it should be. We learn more about Flox and Pred and are introduced to Griff. The mountain is becoming a wonderful home. I’m sure that Tupper has orchestrated all of it.

Continues the previous story. Lovely and sweet. Explores Moree of the world, giving a richer feel. I also loved that the “special power” is not something overpowered but fits in with Tupper’s personality and doesn’t disrupt the balance of the story.

A beautiful story. Just as warm and cozy as the first book in the series. Loved the character development in this story and the introduction of the new characters.

Another lovely book in a wonderful series.
April 11, 2015
This book is about a Pred (a mythical race) named Freydolf and his servant named Tupper. Tupper is a Flox (another mythical race), and Flox are normally quite afraid of the Pred. But when Freydolf wanted the young boy to become his servant, Tupper obliged.
But it had been quite a while since all that had happened. Tupper is now thirteen, and he is excited when Freydolf’s brother-in-law, the merchant Aurelius Harrow, comes to visit. And he brings exciting news...
Aurelius’s voice dropped to a whisper, “According to the rumors, they’re as black as pitch!”
Freydolf snorted, “There are only twelve mountains, and none of them yield black stone.”
Holding up one finger, Aurelius solemnly said, “Aye, everyone knows that. Which is why the rumor-mongers have begun to whisper that a thirteenth mountain has been discovered!”
Freydolf doesn’t truly believe Aurelius, and he decides not to think much about there being a thirteenth mountain. And Aurelius had more to talk to him about then just the rumors of the thirteenth mountain...
“I shall return in a month’s time with Ulrica.”
“Don’t you usually spend summers on the Last Continent?”
“Aye, we have a nice place up there, but Ulrica wishes to meet your lambkin,” Aurelius smirked at the lad, “For that and … well, for other reasons, her mind’s made up. Rather than journey abroad, we’ll be spending our summer in the interior. How do you feel about long-term guests, Frey?”
Tupper is excited to meet Freydolf’s sister and Aurelius’s wife, Ulrica. But while he is waiting, he is kept quite busy with his chores, and getting a house ready for the Harrows. He also has been spending some of his time exploring the hundreds of room in the statue galleries with his friends Brand, a redstone statue carved in the likeness of a Grif (A mythical race). And when the month is over, he is curious to see what Ulrica will be like. He soon finds out...
Heart still hammering in his chest, he stared up at the ceiling and wondered if all Pred introduced themselves by attacking, or if the Harrows were just … special.
“Hello,” he politely offered, “I’m Tupper.”
“There’s not much to you,” the lady remarked. Her voice was low and rich, but hard at the edges.
“No,” he acknowledged, “Flox are lots smaller than Pred.”
His first impressions of Ulrica were of soft fabric, spicy perfume, and the sting of claws at his throat. The woman had him expertly pinned, and he couldn’t have gotten away if he wanted. Which he didn’t. He’d been looking forward to this moment for weeks.
Tupper soon decides that he likes Ulrica just as much as he likes her husband. Ulrica is happy to have finally arrived, and loves Tupper. She is delighted with all the Flox, and is excited when she gets to meet more when they go to one of the Flox villages. But Tupper has learned that Ulrica can be very dangerous when she is angry … and even when she is not. And when they meet a traveling merchant, who doesn’t seem to be showing enough respect to satisfy the unpredictable Pred, she is upset. While she finds the traveler annoying, Tupper notices something starting about the person...
“I heard this mountain was guarded by a tiger,” the man rejoined, sounding wholly unconcerned, “They said nothing of a tigress.”
She snarled something in Terse, and he answered in kind. Switching back to Verit, she ordered, “Lift your lantern! Let me see how many lies are reflected in your eyes!”
He immediately obliged, and Tupper had his first good look at the traveler. Ragged clothes that must have been fine once. Dusty boots that had traveled far. Blue eyes with an audacious glint. A broad-brimmed hat adorned with a fluttering cascade of black feathers, gleaming green, purple, and gold in the lamplight. Curving talons on each fingertip. A prominent, beaky nose. The clues took several moments to add up, but when he did, Tupper reached a dazzling epiphany. Real Grif weren’t red.
The traveling merchant, whose name is Torio, stays with Freydolf and Tupper for a time, to Ulrica’s dismay. Everyone knows that Torio is not a threat, but what they don’t know is that the merchant holds the answer to one very big question.
Harrow is the second book in the Galleries of Stone series, and it is just as good as the first book (if not better). This is one of my top favorite series, and I would recommend it to you if you are a fantasy-lover. I think it is written for all ages.

You might think a story about statues who come to life would be frightening and morbid with people being tossed about like rag dolls until crushed. But when I finished reading Harrow, I was left amid a cloud of warmth and delight.
Milbrandt expands her cast of intriguing and engaging characters ~ stone and otherwise. She tells a lovely tale in which characters face challenges from prejudices, peas, and powerful adversaries and grow their talents, courage, faithfulness.
I’m absolutely crazy about young Tupper. Such a sensitive soul, he hears the needs of others ~ stone and otherwise ~ before they even make them known. Then, with utmost creativity and kindness, he finds solutions and adds abundance to all who live on Moonlit Mountain. Growing from child to teenager, he spends some time considering what characteristics he wants in a wife when the time finally comes. Having watched many silly, idle girls, one thing he’s decided: “He didn’t want a girl who didn’t pick her own lettuces.” The boy is practical as well as compassionate! And he is devoted to Freydolf, the master sculptor who hired him.
There isn’t much I don’t love about these stories. The characters and setting come boldly to life. And why shouldn’t a magic mountain and the varied, charming characters come to life. I mean—if statues awaken … And I’m fascinated by the varied ways in which the statues wake.
The story overflows with creativity, heroism, love, and joy. Though the Galleries of Stone trilogy may be labels YA, these are family-friendly stories along the line of C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia, and are equally good for reading by any age, aloud to little ones, or as a family. I couldn’t have summed up any better than a Goodreads reviewer Megan Williamson: “Love, wonder, and laughter grow in all who are fortunate enough to be welcomed onto the Moonlit Mountain.”
C. J. Milbrandt is a master craftsman of creative story-telling. I recommend this book to all who want more light and joy in their day.

These books are some of the most heartwarming stories in existence, and they're dear to me in a way few stories are. Almost no conflict, just a sweet story of people who love each other in different ways while exploring a vivid, creative world. This book isn't as good as the first, mostly thanks to Milbrandt's extreme overuse of epithets (I'm begging you, just use their names), but it's so fun to see the family at the Statuary grow, and any story with this much Aurelius and Ulrica can't be anything less than amazing. (How do they make tapping on the wall one of the most romantic moments in literature?)

This is a wonderful book!Seriously, if you need a feel good book, one that will just make you smile, this is the book (and it's predecessor "Meadowsweet"). This is great for readers of any age. It would make a really good family read. The characters are so unique and their interactions are really fun. (I think I just might have a mad crush on Harrow himself and I adore Tupper!) Love the setting (drools) I could so live there!

Everything is changing and it is good. Little ones grow up. Strangers grow into new friends. Family grows tired of distance and restraint. Love, wonder, and laughter grow in all who are fortunate enough to be welcomed onto the Moonlit Mountain.

Get ready for teasing, trickery, and family ties. Morven has something up her sleeve (so does Aurelius for that matter) but secrets aren't the only thing visiting the mountain.

A great story, perfect for any age. Clean, fun, funny, a bit suspenseful at times, and quite heart-warming.
