The Tale of Oriel by Cynthia Voigt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oriel, a strong and remarkable young boy taken into captivity as an infant by a cruel man, decides to escape from his life of hardship and betrayal and takes Griff, his loyal companion, with him.
I have more to say and maybe I will, but for now I just want to say that I love Oriel.
And that thing that happens towards the end, I knew it was coming, but reading Oriel and loving him made me forget so it shocked me and hurt just as much as the first time!
