I'd have loved to read your books back when I was actually a young adult, since reading about different cultures, both imaginary and historical, was how I attempted to make some kind of sense of the odd planet that I found myself on. No one censored my reading once I was tall enough to choose books from the adult side of the library (pre-teen). I read a lot of things at a young enough age that on re-reading I was surprised how much went right over my head at age 11, (or again in my twenties, etc) The best sort of books bear re-reading again and again, with more information finding context as our own experiences deepen. I have a small collection of books on my shelf that I do re-read that way, and I expect that the next time I re-read Leontari, that will also be the case
