Jo –
Ysolda has lived in Glaw Wood all her life, and it is all she knows other than legends of far off places. She lives an outdoor life in tune with Nature. Hari, her older sister, can hear trees talking to each other, a gift Ysolda wishes she had too. One day when out with her sea hawk Nara, Ysolda meets a strange girl her own age and they fight. Returning home she sees the mysterious Ryders heading towards her home but an earthquake stops her getting there in time and her sister is gone. The stranger reappears and tells her she had come to warn her sister that the Wolf Queen has sent Ryders to take gifted people from all around and is searching for the Anchorite and End World Wood. She suggests they try to find the Anchorite themselves, but Ysolda sets off alone to rescue her sister from the Wolf Queen’s palace. I loved this book for its amazingly vivid descriptions of Giant Sea Wolves, a palace made of wrecked ships, mysterious forests and trees and roots, and its gripping story. Themes of trust, betrayal and strong women with magical powers, both real and feigned. Can’t wait for the next part.
