LOVED IT!!! I had been intimidated for too long by the length of the novel. Powerful novel of love/hate, justice/mercy, and loyalty/betrayal.
My Favorite Book.
I love this story. The plot, character development, betrayal, romance, adventure, numerous good and evil twists make this an all-time favorite read. The good guy wins after a mighty struggle. The bad guy gets his just reward. Hard work, sacrifice, kindness, perseverance, forgiveness are all brought forth in a fascinating manner for our consideration and inspiration. Every child needs an encounter with this story.
