Let the past have its ashes.

It's been a while since I read this book, but I love it as much as I had all those years ago. al'Lan Mandragoran is still (and likely will always be) a favorite character of mine. He shares a lot of qualities with both Aragorn and Geralt (the latter I am only recently see because I wasn't familiar with The Witcher in high school) and blends theose qualities perfectly in his own way.

The audiobook ready by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading is fantastic. There's some pronunciations from my previous read of the series (minus the last book) that I have to either unlearn or accept that others say differently.

Only fools choose to die before they must.
