![]() ![]() ![]() Love his introduction: “I am Jack Dory!” (My one regret with this book is that we don’t get to know Granny Bibspeak. I didn’t think there was any need to add to the cast of characters until we met him. (Okay, so not everybody likes Beatryce.)Ĥ) And then there’s Jack Dory. She seems to be the girl in the prophecy and ends up with a death warrant on her head from a very jealous king. She just exudes a personality that demands loyalty. And the loyalty she gains from the other characters is definitely deserved. The goat practically melts under her touch. ![]() He’s wary of the goat, but he has a heart of gold, especially when it comes to…ģ) Beatryce! Yes, Beatryce is a lovely character. I loved this goat! (I don’t think I’d like to meet her in real life, but I’m happy to meet her in the pages of a book.) What a character! And yet, she has a soft spot, which comes later in the book.Ģ) The next character we meet in the book is Brother Edik with the wandering eye (his left eye “would not stay quiet and still, but rolled around in his head…”) He’s the kind of sympathetic and slightly quirky character that we all love in a book like this one. WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THIS BOOK…ġ) Let’s start with Answelica. ![]() One of the goat’s favorite games was to lull the monks of the Order of the Chronicles of Sorrowing into a sense of complacency by arranging her features in a benign and indifferent expression. Answelica was a goat with teeth that were the mirror of her soul-large, sharp, and uncompromising. ![]()
