A review by happyocelot
The Illyrian Adventure by Lloyd Alexander

5.0

I read this series as a young child and I am re-reading them because I want to remember why I loved the books so much. Vesper is completely mature for her age and the type of heroine you want to be. She has a tendency to cut through the bullsh*t which is something I appreciated as a reader. In a lot of books, there are puzzling questions and struggles. In the Vesper Holly series, Vesper knows what she wants and she goes after it. She is fearless. She is fierce. She is triumphant. I still love reading these books. They are a timeless classic. I am sad that my local library doesn't have all the books in the series anymore, but I was able to order them off of amazon. I hope they stay in print!
