Hello !

I don’t have a question to ask. I just want to say : thank you.
I’m from France, and I read for the first time Wolf Brother when I was about 9 or 10 years old. I was immediately obsessed with the world and the characters. From book 1 to book 6, this story was with me all of my childhood and trought a big part of my teenagers years. I then kept re-reading all of the books over and over again as I entered adulthood, and cried with joy when I learned about the new 3 books coming up back in 2019.
I read the 7th & 8th books the minutes they were available.
But I couldn’t bring myself to read the 9th for the past 3 years, as I knew it would be the last pages of the adventures of my beloved heroes, and i wasn’t not quite ready to say goodbye (again).
I’m now going on 27 years old. And I finally decided to read Wolfbane this year.
I actually finished it last night.
And the first thing that I wanted to do after turning that last page was to say thank you.
Thank you for the world you created, a world that always feels like home every times I pick up the books again for a re-reading session. Thank you for the most wonderfull adventures i’ve ever got to live throught books. Thank you for Torak, Renn, Wolf and every other wonderfull characters I had the honor to meet throught your words.
Thank you for this story that have been with me my entire life and probably always will be.
Simply : Thank you.

PS : I know that Wolfbane is the last one, but I will never get tired of going back to the forest, and will gladly do so again for new adventures if you ever change your mind (we never know !)

With love,
Léa

Dear Lea*, what a marvellous, heartfelt message to receive: thank you so much!  I get the impression that as a child, you developed the enviable ability to immerse yourself completely in a story; and of course once acquired, that skill remains with one for life.  I’m truly delighted that you enjoyed returning to Torak’s world, with the last three books – and I can completely understand why you delayed reading Wolfbane for so long.  Incidentally, you’re not alone in that; over the years, other readers have told me that they’ve also delayed reading the final volume; although at three years, I think you probably hold the record!  And the phrase that I found particularly gratifying and evocative is when you say that Torak’s world “always feels like home”.  I feel like that with certain of my favourite books, and I’m honoured that my stories are like that for you. Thank you again for getting in touch – and I wish you many more happy hours in the Forest!  With very best wishes,  Michelle   *(P.S. Sorry I’ve omitted to put the accent on your name; I haven’t yet worked out how to do it.)
