I think this started as the most "suspense" album I have heard so far. Musical phrases from the first tracks are short but require our attention right from the very first note. The pinnacle of this would be The King Ascendant! Then the album makes me feel either lost in space and time (e.g. Herbalist) or comforted as being with friends by the fire (e.g. Minstrel Meanderings, Little Bird). Finally, with As The Pages Turn we seem to go on a kind of travel, who knows if into that lost medieval town you talked about. A very interesting set of diverse musical ideas, thank you for sharing :)
