Also discovered them at age 9, in 2009. Hah.
My experience was strange, my father usually went out to the country to speak with a man about the selling of opioids… not a great starter; but there was a ‘crazy cat lady’ who lived on property and saw every time we went over that i had a book of some kind.
She handed me the first book and my addiction began!! The books were still coming out and i remember having to wait for them painfully, it was so fun and i wish i could have another experience like it again.
Warriors truly saved my life, if i didn’t find these books i don’t know where i would’ve ended up without the world to escape to.
