Yay! I finished the book! I really liked it, it was happy and lush and posed interesting questions without being preachy or unpleasant.

I’m not gonna read the second book unless I stunmble across it in the library. I’d rother have a happy picture of the Land Between the Mountains in my ‘ead!

I think the author meant for the reader to realize that you should be yourself (or, in our case, be who God is calling us to be) even when it means going against the norm or getting exiled for it (Christian persecution!), but when the time comes that the norm realizes, if even a little, that what we were doing made our lives all the richer and more exciting, we should readily forgive them and enourage them to do the same.
