My friend leant me this book like two years ago and I loved it. Yes - it's freakishly long. There is no way I'm ever going to read the series. And, the main character's name is Richard... *yawn*. But it's a really bizarre fantasy world that I ended up really getting into.
Gotta love the mud people... who punched to say hello.
I only know that learning to believe in the power of my own words has been the most freeing experience of my life. It has brought me the most light. And isn't that what a poem is? A lantern glowing in the dark. — Elizabeth Acevedo, The Poet X
