This book is a respite from life, a breathing space to remind us of where the ground is in a world where it is hard to find sometimes. I don't really know how to explain it. It just, felt like a fresh breath of air, in a way. And at the same time it tackles big questions and thoughts and culture clashes and so on, with different sides, with strong characters. I can't really explain it.

But I can say that I'm sad this was the last book in the wayfarers series because I've loved all of the books, but I know I'll reread them at some point and maybe it won't be like reading them for the first time, but I imagine it might feel like a break after being away from home and I'm absoluelty looking forward to that.
