The end of week seventeen of the Reading Project. Here's what I've read this week:
Tu cefn i'r cyfan (Elgan Philip Davies)
The close to a series is always going to be tough to write, and it doesn't help that it's several years since I read the first few volumes. I found this a bit hard going as my Welsh is somewhat rusty, but also because it's both an (older) children's book and a Christian one, which makes it predictable in a couple of ways. The writing's pretty solid, and I was pleasantly surprised by the extent to which it left questions open at the end - even introducing further complication in an epilogue. So on the whole a decent read that tied up things enough, and to my mind managed to be explicitly Christian without descending entirely into a sermon, though obviously your mileage may vary.
