Le Haut Roi

The blending of classic mythology with young heroes is so seamless. I'm curious what inspired the choice to frame the story this way, making it resonate across generations.

Watching the characters evolve from hesitant kids to brave leaders was really satisfying. I wonder if the author planned their arcs from the beginning or let them develop organically.

The book manages to be both fun and meaningful, which isn't easy. I'm interested in how Lloyd Alexander approached blending these tones without undermining the stakes.
