I have already read the Ariboslia trilogy, so I was thrilled to have a chance to read Pepin’s Tale. Pepin is pech, a red-haired people who worship the god Torsten. The tale opens with Pepin competing in a boulder tossing contest that Pepin is desperate to not lose–that would make him the lowliest of all. Unfortunately, Frode broke a personal record.

Pepin’s family abandoned him, but his teacher Annar had compassion and took Pepin in. As much as Pepin tried, he could not craft a simple amulet. One night he tossed and turned, stressed that Annar would turn him out and Pepin didn’t know where to go. Then he had an encounter that would change his life.

I really enjoyed the Ariboslia trilogy–beginning with Astray–and Pepin’s backstory did not disappoint. If you like C.S. Lewis or J.R.R. Tolkien, give J.F. Rogers a try.

A wonderful story about Pepin
In the trilogy we get to meet Pepin. This book tells about the life of Pepin before he joins this journey. I love that the author has given us this backstory so we now know the ins and outs of our beloved Pech.

This is a a lovely short story that shows how believing can accomplish anything. It introduces Pepin and his origins in the series by J. F. Rogers.

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this ebook from the author and this is my honest and unsolicited opinion.

Lovely

What a lovely introduction to a new world and adventure. Love how great loss ends up being used for good. Sort of reminiscent of ugly duckling?
Left me smiling and feeling good, despite it being a short introduction to.

This is a delightful book with a young one going from bullied by peers to loved by God. This is definitely a good book for children. However, I enjoyed it too.

I know this was like a short story BUT it ended abruptly as Pepin was to start his journey.

A quick, interesting intro to this world. The characters came across well, especially for such a short story!

Pepin's Tale prepares us for the series which takes place in Ariboslia. It's an easy and quick interesting read. It's clean as well.

A fun, quick read about one of the supporting characters in the Ariboslia trilogy. It takes place before the main trilogy, but I recommend reading it after. While it doesn’t really spoil anything in the mai story, I think it is more impactful learning Pepin’s backstory after reading the main story.
