"Loved this story, a lot of character development for Taran. He realizes he’s in love with the princess who is somewhere else learning princess things. He goes on a journey to learn if he’s of noble blood. He is such a good person, always helping even risking his life more than once to help. Gurgie is with him the whole time, very jar jar binks. I’m glad I decided to read this series and I can wait to start the next one. "
