This rallying cry is the central theme for this tale of the despair of brokenness and the hope of repair. In here, readers will find examples of:
Children soldiers.
Missing memories.
Troubled relationships.
Exceptions for the wealthy.
Low self-esteem: ‘I am nothing without my magic’.
Some tried and true solutions? A lilac- & vanilla-scented bath along with some cake. The answer to all our woes is always cake.
Some sage sylvan survival advice from the author:
Being able to figure out worst-case scenarios IS a skill all unto itself.
Destruction of nature begins with the trees – learn how to read the signs.
Know how to build shelter, cook without smoke, fish & hunt, light fires safely, and keep warm outdoors.
Fave line:
‘Now I want a dragon.’
I mean, like, don’t we all?
One of the characters’ magic was in finding things – I certainly need a dose of that! Where do I sign up? Perhaps, I’ll visit the crew in ‘Wrath & Crystal Thorns’ to get me some of that.
