The Farwalker Trilogy
review 1: So much to love about this book. The characters are rich and their relationships feel so real. Especially between Scarl & Ariel.Ariel is a 14-year-old on a mission to save the world. She's the only farwalker left in the world, and her feet and the moon and her nightmares are calling her across the world to stop everything she accomplished last year from unraveling.Scarl is Ariel's adopted father. She chose him, and he begrudgeonly fulfills the role. Yet he loves her like a real father would. I love the discussions between them--when he explains about her monthly cycles or teaches her about true love or encourages her. It's really beautiful. I wouldn't say it was touching though because Scarl is too dark of a character. And that makes it all the more beautiful.My daughter r... moreecommended this one to me, and I'm so glad she did. Highly recommend it.
review 2: Reviewed by Joan Stradling for TeensReadToo.comThe moon calls to Ariel Farwalker and urges her to embark on a quest.Leaving her best friend, Zeke, behind, Ariel and her guardian journey to new friends and distant lands. Ariel hopes to find the sender of the telling darts, if she lives long enough.I fell in love with this world and characters in THE FARWALKER'S QUEST. I thrilled at the prospect of reading the sequel, but I did have some nagging concerns. Because the first one blew me away, I feared nothing could compare. THE TIMEKEEPER'S MOON not only compared, but managed to thrill me even more than the first one. Adventure, excitement, and wonderful new characters greeted me with each page turn.THE TIMEKEEPER'S MOON pulled me in and kept me moonstruck through the entire novel. When I had to put the book down, I felt the story tugging at my mind and urging me to return. I couldn't get back to it fast enough!Like THE FARWALKER'S QUEST before it, Sensel has a way of bringing her characters and world to brilliant life, making me wish I could stay immersed in Ariel's story forever. The only disappointment I had was the ending, but only because it was over.Whenever I look at the moon, I'll think of Ariel Farwalker and wonder what adventures her feet will lead her to next. less

A bit more complex than Farwalker's Quest, but loved it just as much. Can't wait to read book 3.

These books seem to start out slow, but I like them enough to continue.
