This was my first re-read of the series and it was sooo good to re-read book 1 because I forgot so much about what happened (such as Kaltain). This series is my fav one by SJM as the writing is amazing, the characters are amazing and have amazing growth, and the multiple povs are to die for. I highly recommend this series to everyone, it is the best SJM series and it is the best written one too.
