This book feels like Anne of Green Gables to me. It feels like the Chronicles of Narnia. It feels like Harry Potter. It feels like every sweeping tale of good versus evil that ever made me sad to finish the last page.
I don't know why this book didn't call to me as a kid. I suppose I was turned off by the cover, or maybe the notion of it being sci-fi felt too much like work or math or analytical. Nothing could be further from the truth.
