Storyteller

Loved this book! It was a bit slow getting into it at first, as the language is a little bit more - formal, for lack of a better word - than a lot of things I read. But it fits Gwernin and the time in which he lives, and once I was hooked, I was HOOKED. The book follows Gwernin as he travels and as he becomes apprenticed to the bard Talhaearn. He's a young man with a lot of growing and learning to do, and I've enjoyed seeing where he's gone thus far (although I do feel like he may learn some hard lessons on down the road). The “O my children” device at the end of each chapter was a little distracting at first, but it grew on me the more I read. I can't speak much to its historical accuracy, as I'm not a particularly conscientious student of history, but I didn't see any glaring anachronisms. I'm eagerly anticipating the next book in the trilogy!
