It's been aging since I read this book and the series. I had a good time. The characters were good, the relationships were decent, the plot was enjoyable, and the writing was alright.

I LOVED this book when it came out over 20 years ago and went into this reread expecting a similar experience to my 11-year-old self. But the book was slower than I remember, and I didn't understand why much of the wandering around was included. But this also means that I don't remember the series as well as I thought I had, which makes me even more excited to continue the reread? Idk. It's very complicated. Despite my mixed bag of reactions to this book, I am full-steam-ahead enthusiastic to read Murtagh after I get through the first four books!!!

Moderate: Gore, War, Death, Death of parent, and Torture
Minor: Child death and Child abuse
There are multiple scenes where a city has been attacked or even wiped out by an army, including one somewhat graphic description of an infant that had been killed. A character is tortured, physically and emotionally, and there are some descriptions of that and some brief mentions of child abuse. One large battle scene, with descriptions of violence and some gore.everesto's review against another edition
