a fiction reader, an avid reader, I like to do Family Reading
My sons ages 14 and 11 and I are reading this series. The books are written so that we are all glued to the story and sad when a chapter ends as we have to wait another day for the next. Jorden outdoes himself with this series and while the setting is Fantasy there are real life situations that this can be used to help have serious conversations with my children, "what would you do if this happened to you?" "How can you change this situation to pertain to life today?" As others have written reminescent of Tolken but stands entirely alone.
