This story starts slowly and takes time to light up, but it's a beautiful tale once it finally does.

I will do a much more in-depth review of this book later, but for now, suffice to say that after I finished transferring highlights of notes and quotes from this print book over to my readwise.io account, I have 70 quoted sections. 70. It's that good and that thought provoking.

A much more layered and involved book in this series. The earlier novellas felt more straightforward, YA style romps. Loved this, loved the characters and world that Wells is so great at creating.

This is my go-to daily prayer book. It always lives in my backpack, and while I wish the book was printed in hardcover or leather cover so it wouldn't get banged up, I find it to be more Biblically centered than Celtic Daily Prayer by the Northumbria community, and just as importantly, far easier to pack around.

Disclaimer: After meeting Ray Simpson, I've become a vowed Explorer (first vows) in the Community of Aidan and Hilda in the US, which is a sister community to the one which Ray leads in the UK. Perhaps I'm biased :-)
