It feels so strange to revisit a story like this after so many years. A story I remember being so sweeping, epic, and dramatic, but as an adult it's a very straightforward book about a boy and his friends looking for a magic cauldron. But oh, reading this as a child, the DRAMA, the intrigue, the betrayal. It's still an amazing book, but I am 100% not the audience for it. However, I love these characters. Rereading this series I remember almost nothing of the plots, but the characters are so vivid in my memory. This was probably the first thing I read that I would consider epic fantasy. Kid-epic, epic fantasy with tiny training wheels and it's wonderful.
