The Grey King by Susan Cooper

The courageous Will sets out on this adventure alone, but finds friends along the way including the mysterious Bran with his dog Cafall. For some reason the eloquent description seemed to stand out even more in this volume. There are many surprises along the way as they journey to wake the sleepers, some that even elicited an audible gasp. I think this one is especially a masterpiece and I feel like each of the works have grown and built upon each other. I can’t wait to go home and get my hands on the final installment.
