Thoughts

As a kid I had the trilogy of the faraway books and loved them so much, so I’m on a re-read which doesn’t take much effort because a) they’re easy to read kids books and b) I love them! Something about the idea of different lands popping up every now and then just really appeals - adventures coming to you! This time we have an additional character in Rick, who gets stuck in and causes even extra chaos. Fun!
