This story breaks me each time I read it. I love the characters and the lives they lead. Some live short lives full of longing and suffering while others live long lives full of hope and love. A story about loving the people you are given, and yearning for the ones you aren’t. Loving the land and the gods. Choosing what is right, even if it is not what you want. And in the end understanding that every person is needed and curses can only be broken with the blood freely given with life and love. I reread this so I could have a refresher before reading book 2, The Blind Son.
