Review: Wondrously Entertaining

I got involved in this Cilmeri series because I was addicted to the Lorean chronicles and wanted more adventure, where the heroes were young and risk-taking, like David and his sister Anna.  I got more than I bargained for.  It has all the adventure one could ask for, along with considerable character development.  I like the idea of going into the past, but not THE past, where a whole new reality can be built without concern for damaging the timeline one originated from.  Moreover, it kind of reminds me of Henry Detamble from "Time Traveler's Wife," where neither he nor these young heroes have control over WHEN they can travel.  The mere idea of a Wales that never lost its sovereignty is not only romantic, but a notion one can put his book-reading emotions behind.  And I have---and will---into the continuing saga of the later Cilmeri books Sarah has woven for enjoyment.
