The one question that's plagued Taran all his life is just who is he? Who is his family? Is there any chance at all that his family is some sort of nobility? This last question has taken on a new level of importance to him as he has realized that he's in love with a princess and can't do anything ab...
I'm so happy to have stuck with the early books in this series I was struggling with. There has been a wonderful improvement in the writing quality as the series moves on. It's finally feeling like the choppy--even lazy--writing has stopped getting in the way of a charming story. I hope I will fin...

For someon...
