5 Words: Historical, heritage, love, insanity, coming-of-age.
I first read this book over ten years ago, when I was 11 years old. And it really says something when I honestly couldn't stop thinking of it.
Over time, I forgot the title. But I always remembered the cover and the story and spent so long trying to find it. It was only by chance when I was going through all of the books I own that I found it again and quickly devoured it.
And I loved it even more.
The Druid Stone is a book where it sometimes seems that nothing at all is happening. But look just below the surface and there is so much going on it's almost mind blowing. The pace is excellent and you can't help but keep turning the pages.
The characters are complex and well-developed and a pleasure to read. They change and grow as the story progresses and you can hardly recognise them by the time you get to the last page. It almost felt as though I was growing with them.
The main character, Kirsty, was probably my favourite - I felt that she accomplished so much. She came to realise who she was as a person and she became better for it.
That ending was astounding, so dramatic and shocking. This book was every bit as amazing as I remember it to have been, and I wish everyone could read it.
