It's been a long time since a book has made me cry. Pony did that but in a good way. Silas is a wonderful character with depth and maturity to him. I loved Pony and Mittenwool and how everything gets brought together at the end. My only complaint is that it's very rare and really almost unheard of, for Arabians to have fully bald faces but I guess since he was a magical pony, I'll overlook this 😊. This was a fantastic read. It's billed as middle grade but if a middle grader was sensitive, I wouldn't hand this book to them as there is violence and parental death.
