| Review Summary |
This book is told by Polgara herself about what happened before what had happened in the series before her. She goes through her struggles, accomplishments, and other emotions she felt throughout her life. It's a wonderful book that people can realate to. It will make you shed tears and laugh out loud.

I can't explain it. There is just too much. It's essentially a story from the point of view of a character depicting her version of events that have already transpired.
