If I had a remembrance book, I would mark down how it was when we left our little house in the big woods to go west to Indian Territory. We had to go, Pa said, because so many people had come to live in the big woods, there wasn't enough game anymore for him to hunt and he feared we might go hungry. Ma said we might never again see Grandma and Grandpa, or Aunt Docia and Aunt Ruby and Uncle George. Though it made me sad, I still thought it a fine thing to go where there had never been a road before. We'd go where the land was more bountiful, he said, and he sold our house and land and cow, and packed whatever would fit in the wagon. I was glad Pa took his fiddle, for it makes a joysome sound. Mary was afraid to go, but I knew nothing bad could happen as long as we had Pa and Jack. Jack is my best and truest friend and Pa says there has never been a better watchdog. I knew there would be rivers to cross and hills to climb, and I was glad, for this is a fair land and I rejoiced that I would see it.

Me: Is this Farmer Boy sequel written in 2012 really going to be able to feel like a legitimate follow-up to the style and atmosphere of the original, or is it just another modern cash-grab?
Heather Williams, on page 2: Best of all, he knew that fall meant crispy spareribs and sweet cider and hot roasted potatoes with melting butter and all the pumpkin pie he could eat.
Me: ....it looks like I can trust you. Carry on.
#little house#farmer boy goes west#i'm about halfway through and i'm fairly impressed#she seems to be making a legitimate effort to match some of the stylistic quirks of the original#there are pieces that are anachronistic or too modern#or elements that fit better into the laura books than the almanzo one#(mrs. wilder of farmer boy would not give an explanation of the history of jenny lind trunks even though caroline ingalls would)#there is a lot of focus on food (good)#perhaps a bit too much focus on horses (he wouldn't spend *all* his time thinking about starlight)#the throughline of 'what does he want to be' is stupid when we know he wants to be a farmer#the parents feel less old-fashioned than they did in the original#the sibling dynamics are pretty good (especially with alice)#there are some things that are fun in light of the later books but aren't obnoxious wink wink style foreshadowing#the author's note makes it clear that she did try to do her research and stick to real history and to laura's heavily altered timeline#and i can totally forgive her for a really shoehorned in conversation#because when you find out that the future founder of sears was in spring valley at the same time as almanzo#you *have* to stick that in no matter how clunky it is

An Update!
First of all, Happy New Year!
Second, Hi! I'm back! I said ages ago I would be back after finishing a series I was working on in another fandom... the series for the other fandom took me way longer to finish than I thought it would.
But I finished it, and the holidays are over, which means I am back to writing for RDR2! Updates will be sporadic because I'm in college, but I am excited to be back!
