I devoured the Green Rider books when my third child was born; they were the only thing that kept me sane during those last few miserable days before his birth. So I was curious to see if my opinion of them would hold up on a re-read. I'm glad to say that I am devouring them once again. Green Rider is more of a standard young adult fantasy: heavy on the travelogue as Karigan completes a death-defying mission. It hits all the regular tropes of the genre (and has horses) and is so much fun to read.
