PSA: It exists as an audiobook! Placed on hold at my public library! Sad to not enjoy the maps as I listen, though. I do like me a good map, but ATM if it's not directly related to the book I'm writing I'm listening to it.

Memory, Sorrow and Thorn is a favorite! And Tailchaser's Song. Very excited for the Last King of Osten-Ard -- as soon as the library gets the audiobook!

I loved that the Gullaime (which I only learned to spell from social media #audiobooks) was called by the species. The othering effect of the human society on the/all Gullaime worked so well, and centered the rage of one of my favorite characters of all time. 💥 Prequel on the Gullaime?

Yes! Kari Iljin! This was in Finland, so not yet much about the US in those grades, intjink, although he did teach us that the US doesn't use the metric system, which blew our minds! Iljin used a lot of maps, which I am still inspired by and use in my own history classroom.

The only downside with audiobooking is no maps. Ok, so not knowing how to spell names of the fabulous characters is not exactly a plus, but I don't mind and the narrators are superb.
