Ahh, enjoy! They definitely skew very young (I think the kids are about 10 at the start), but they're a comfort series for me and I hope you like Winding Circle as much as I did on my first read!

nayrt

I would like to reread the Winding Circle books as I haven't read them since I was very young and I may have even been a bit too young. I remember being really scared by some of the scenes, there was some pretty dark stuff! Especially in The Circle Opens series, the way murder was described in those books had me hiding under the covers as a little one.

I don't blame you! It straight up starts out with Sandry and Daja's families, and then by Magic Steps there's still plenty of ways magic can go terribly wrong.

I find they hold up really well, honestly, and especially as an adult you realize how young these four are and how much they're dealing with. Their bonds to each other and to their teachers (responsible, supportive adults!) is even more special to me now that I'm grown up.

They age up with the characters like the Harry Potter books. Reading the first four from an adult perspective, you can see that these ten year-olds are often in seriously dark circumstances, but they aren't processing it the way an adult would, particularly not noticing certain adult dynamics. By the time the mains reach adulthood the books are as mature as they are.
