Thank you for hosting this read-along. It’s my first time reading the books (and the author), and it’s been interesting reading all the comments here. What grabbed me the most with the prologue was the mix of realism vs fantasy, or how old believes are woven into a “modern” story. It’s fascinating reading stories where pieces of old folklore and folktales survive. I also loved the descriptions of nature, and the sense of home Ewan feels there.
