My dad brought home this book for me to try out so I did.. And absolutely ADORED it!!! I was immediately immersed in this incredible world!! Some people might think that it has a lot of “jargon” such as “beforetime”, “oldtime”, “misfits”, and “herders” but I loved it! It's a different world so of course it'll have a different language! It made the world so much more believable and it drew me in even further. The mystery behind Obernewtyn made is SOOOOO intriguing!! Ah!! I loved this book so much and the books following are even better!!!
