The characters looked nothing like what you think they do when reading the books. #1, jasmine was in gray guard clothes that she had messed with to fit her. #2 when I thought of lief , I thought of brown hair, a multicolored cloak, and no gloves. #3 When I thought of Barca, I didn't think of him with a beard. I don't remember his exact age, but I think he was only,like 29-32

It's OK. I'm only into the first few episodes, and I'm kind of having a hard time getting into it. But then it was that way with the first couple of books for me and then I ended up really liking the series in the end, so I'm willing to give it a chance.

I first found the books floating around a sale held by our local nun's and decided to buy them. I soon remembered why I didn't buy books as I spent hours reading them to only finish like the first 2. I'm dyslexic and have always had that problem of reading very slowly but, I liked the books and wanted to keep reading them. So I searched for them to see if there was an audio book for it and I was genuinely shocked to find it was an anime! What fun!
