Debbie grew up loving nature and the outdoors. Her favorite childhood book was My Side of the Mountain, and she always dreamed of running away to the woods.

Debbie left NJ to actually live primitively and to teach others. She founded a non-profit, Ways of the Earth Living Museum and lived for a year and a half in a shelter she built. Sadly the organization closed, but new land has been purchased and construction of the village will be

Did not Disappoint!

This was my most anticipated sequel in decades causing me to fear I'd be disappointed. The story began with fairly mundane issues but soon vered down much more fantastical roads. It became a journey quest as powerful as the Talism

An Epic Ending

At the end of book one I thought, if the whole series is this one story arc, I doubt I'll read the whole thing. And I was right. I read through book six then read chapter by chapter summaries of book 7-13 and skipped to the last book. A

Guess I've had Enough

I have been enjoying this series, but some of the things that were slightly bothersome in the previous books became annoyances in this one. Jordan tends to be wordy and over describes many minor scenes, but when I consider how mu

Intriguing

The first third of the book is an interesting, yet pretty straightforward, tale. It's not until the next starts that you begin to get a glimmer of the magnitude of complexity the story really holds. Just when you're getting a handle on it

“Perhaps the simplest way of describing the situation would be to say that, two and a half thousand years ago in the West, we were given a gift — and in our childishness we threw away the instructions for how to use it.
