Review: Lord Tophet

Lord Tophet by Gregory Frost
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A very enchanting conclusion to an awesome adventure.

Some books just grab hold and don't let go. We can't always explain why the images the words create make us feel the way they do, and that's okay. I believe that there are some stories that are meant to be felt; and a book about a storyteller creating such emotions for her audience is very fitting.

I felt this book. I felt Leodora wanting to be whole, to be loved, to have the things that have eluded her all of her life. Because underneath it all, she's just a girl. I felt Diverus feeling free enough, after a lifetime of slavery, to make his own choices. To love Leodora to the point of worship. I felt Soter grapple with his guilt for all of the things denied Leodora. I felt that he loved her and protected her the best way he knew how.

My journey with them was amazing and I am content.
