"The things that we make up can still be "real" because most of the world is made up in some way or another anyway."
THIS. This is exactly the conclusion I am finally coming to. I am also trying to convince Suzy of this; she has periodic existential crises about the nature of reality and whether or not objective reality exists and she hasn't read a lot of fiction, especially not fiction she identified with and I'm convinced that those two things are related >.>
OMG so much. It was these books and the Narnia books and The Hobbit and the Alanna books by Tamora Pierce and The Enchanted Forest Chronicles (by Patricia C. Wrede) and later on The Wheel of Time and the Kusheil books and and and ackpth. And Greek myths! So much!! The Iliad was a sort of disturbingly large part of my childhood. (EARLY childhood, like first to fourth grade)
...anyway.
GO READ THE NEXT ONE IT'S SO COMPLETELY FANTASTIC I HAVE NO WORDS. It actually might be my favorite in the series. SO GOOD. I MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE A SONG FROM THAT BOOK MEMORIZED. IT'S SO GOOD.
