I read one of Catherine Gaskin’s books when I was young. I recently came across The Lynmara Legacy and decided to give it a read.

It is a compelling novel. It captured me from the beginning. I wasn’t sure which way the book was heading at any time. There were scenarios that I thought would continue but things changed in the space of a few paragraphs and would send me reeling but also reaching for the book until I finished it.

It’s not often a book stays with me for weeks after I read it but this one has. There are elements that will continue to be part of my thoughts for a long, long time.

I admit it. I’ve never read any of the Harry Potter books. I have never seen any of the Harry Potter movies. However, my son-in-law is a huge fan of the series and is reading the illustrated version of this book to his children. My husband, likewise, has never read the books or seen the movies.

We decided to listen to an audio version together, to keep up with our young grandkids. We enjoyed it and are ready for the next book in the series.

I won’t give a synopsis of the book because almost everyone has already read it. I can only say that, late as I am to the series, I am so glad I have finally started it.
