"A Nomadic Witch" is the fifth in the main series and is my favorite, so far. I've fallen in love with the characters and eagerly await more from them. This is a story about transformation. Marcus takes center stage. Marcus is a grouchy, middle-aged curmudgeon. Following a tragic experience in his childhood, Marcus has closed his heart, hiding and pushing people away to avoid pain. We get to watch as slowly the ice is melted by a newcomer. He learns to laugh and to give joy, one small step at a time. And then Marcus is forced to rely on others for help. He realizes that he simply cannot succeed if he does it all by himself. He learns to ask for help. I watched him grow out of his shell, face down his past and learn to live life fully again. Marcus fought his way through anger and fear and found the pure joy of letting all that go. The whole community watches Marcus and supports him on his journey. It's a wonderful tale, told well.
