I was fortunate enough to receive an ARC of this lovely story! In the end, I thought this was a wonderful tale, but it took me a while to like the protagonist (which might be intentional on the author's part). A few parts seemed a tad unbelievable, but overall, it was a grand adventure, and the growth of the protagonist was fun to read. The detailed description of the setting was so vivid that it became like a character. The family was an interesting mix of characters that were so real in their flaws and their love. I really enjoyed the author's notes at the end that detailed more of the history of the people of that area. Thanks for the ARC. I can't wait to buy the book when it comes out for my family!
