Captivating, page turning, beautiful

I have read this trilogy to my daughter. They have captivated her imagination, and mine.

All my favourite stories start by hooking my attention with a fascinating idea. This makes me hungrily turn the page, and end with the realisation that a message, an ideal, a higher meaning, has imperceptibly seeped into my consciousness and enriched me.

This trilogy did both of these things in spades.

Thank you Mr. Torday.
