In part 3 of the Guardian of the Winter Stone series, we pick up where we left off in the previous installment: the intrepid group has made their way to the village where they believe a scholar who can translate a journal for them resides. We'll spend all of this part of the story here in the village, where the team helps the people. There are developments in relationships, which is really the focus, as Akira opens up to Ashleigh and they grow closer, and Akira and Danny slowly make their way toward a tentative friendship.

Each time I read an installment of this series I find myself wishing it was longer, that I got more of the story before having to wait until the next one comes out, but I suppose that's one way to keep me coming back for more. I'll guess I'll just have to sit and patiently wait for the next one...
