The next several hours in the kinhold were chaos. Everybody wanted to talk to Lilam, either asking her questions she couldn’t answer or that would have been obvious to any second-year school child. They pinched and petted and hugged her; reminisced about her as a child; cooed over her as an adult. More than a few tears were shed in her general direction. In short order the females of the kinhold whisked her off to bathe and gossip and speculate, for even if the Ethelings were plucked from dirt, they should be scrubbed of it expeditiously. Emic saw no more of the Etheling-alloted until that evening.

A screen capture of my rating system for books: 5 stars - A book I want to own and probably reread someday. Will likely attempt to foist it on friends. 4 stars - Something about it is excellent. Highly recommend. 3 stars - Fun and engaging but nothing really special. Worth reading if the description appeals 2 stars - DNF. Life is too short 1 star - DNF with prejudice, something about it is atrocious
