The Wheel of Time, Thomas Covenant, The Sword of Truth, etc. But despite the engrossing worlds and action, they were always a bit of a letdown. Why was Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings so superior? And why didn’t these books make me feel the way I had as a child reading C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicle

“Violeta put her head down in her humble way. "I'm certainly able to bray loudly, Bart, dear. But that would attract a lot of attention. I don't like to do that because it is not always a good thing. Besides, braying loudly wastes energy. I don't want to do that unless it's for something very important."

You're right, Violeta. From now on I'm not going to make noise without a good reason, either," said Bart.”
