There will never be a series of books more beloved by me than the Aubreyad. I cried when I finished the last book because I knew I’d never be able to read them again for the first time. But now I re-read them almost every year and I feel like I find something new each time.
So. Much. Love.
You will never have known true love until you’ve read these books.

"Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.
The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
No one ever said elves are nice.
Elves are bad."

"She’d been a witch here all her life. And one of the things a witch did was stand right on the edge, where the decisions had to be made. You made them so that others didn’t have to, so that others could even pretend to themselves that there were no decisions to be made, no little secrets, that things just happened. You never said what you knew. And you didn’t ask for anything in return."

J.K. Rowling used a Celtic calendar to assign the wood for each of characters wands.
Mine would be Hazel Wood with a dragon heartstring core :)
