This book was a slow but steady book for me. I rarely take two months to read a book. I didn't read it slowly because I didn't like it. I loved it! Because I had other books that I was reading with a deadline (a library due date, or a book club discussion) this one kept getting set aside.  Every time I picked this book up again, it greeted me like a friend. As Weylyn says in the book; "Don't leave anything you can't come back to." This is a book I kept coming back to, and I'm almost sad to have finally finished it. The story of Weylyn Grey is part adventure and part magical realism, but it is ultimately a love story. It's about how our differences sometimes divide us, but how love can bring us back together. Told from multiple perspectives, in a series of tall-tale like stories, Weylyn is an unforgettable character that will charm you, confound you, and will capture both your heart and your imagination.
