I have read this entire set aloud to my children for YEARS!! The story line is gripping, the writing is excellent, and the vocabulary is fantastic. Case in point: When my youngest son was 5 years old (with two older sisters), we started reading this series as a family. About halfway through the serious, my kindergarten-aged son started a thought with, "Perhaps after they subdue the enemy..." AND I ALMOST CHOKED!! SAY WHAT?? Not only did he know those words enough to understand what was going on, he understood how to use them in a sentence!!!
We made sure to stop and look up words we didn't know (because there were even a few that I didn't know) and we made sure to make the effort to pronounce stuff correctly as well (like I found I had been mispronouncing "satyr").
This is a great series for homeschool and a great series for kids to read on their own!!
