While fantastical with it's talking animals, Impassable Wilderness, and Narnia-edque adventures, it was simply unnecessarily long. Also, the narrator I listened to this book had a voice that irritated me.
It was okay, it was more interesting in theory than in practice
this book is a rich tapestry of adventure and hope and words i had to look up. this is meloys debut apparently which is really intimidating for someone who’s interested in writing /lh
i am beyond excited to start the sequel, as this did all it needed to as both a stand alone novel and a taste of what’s to come for these characters. i wish i had a magical impassable wilderness, too.

Twelve-year-old Prue’s baby brother has been abducted by crows and taken into the Impassable Wilderness. As any dutiful sister would, Prue goes in pursuit with her friend Curtis not far behind. It doesn’t take long for Prue and Curtis to get separated and they both face different dangers. There are many talking animals to help (or hurt) them on their way, but also a good amount of danger, bloodshed, and violence. Readers of the Grimm fairy tales should enjoy this story.

Mythic to a large degree this is an interesting read. Prue goes after her brother who has been kidnapped by crows into the Wildwood where no-one goes in Portland, but she finds that she can go, and her friend Curtis comes with her, they both find that everything is not as they assumed and that things will never be as they were before.
The illustrations added to the enjoyment. And while I enjoyed it I'm not sure where it's supposed to go, it's a bit long for a kid's book and a little childish for an adult. Still I'm looking forward to the next one.
