The Bark of the Bog Owl by Jonathan Rogers
5.0
I love this fictional retelling of David's story through the eyes of Aidan. It's not a true textbook retelling; it's a fictional tale of another world with similar events and ideas. Super inspiring, easy to read, and well-written. I love reading about Dobro, the feechies, the brothers, prophet, and giant. It's a great reread, and I am sure I will read it again in the future.
"You will fight one day for Corenwald - and sooner than you think. You will fight because you love Corenwald, because you love the freedom to live and worship as you see fit, because you love your family and your fellow soldiers. But you must never fight because you love the battle. You must never love the battle."
"If I am defeated tomorrow, I want to die as I have lived - a shepherd boy, with the sun on my forehead and the breeze in my hair. But if I overcome, everyone must know that the One God, and not Aidan Errolson, is the Champion of Corenwald. Neither arms nor armor can deliver Corenwald - only the arm of the One God."
