Already in chapter 3 I had solved the mystery and rightly predicted the outcome of this book. The last 350 pages were not all that interesting after that...

I don't know why but I couldn't quite get into this book.
There were good things and bad things about Wildwood Dancing. I'll list the bad first
-Beginning seemed to drag on
-There wasn't enough of the Dancing Glade. I mean, I understand that most of the story had to be set in the real world to make it work but there just didn't seem to be enough fantasy.
-Jena never shut up about her responsibility. All she ever did was whine and whine and whine. I wanted to punch her by the end of the book.
-Tati was pathetic. She fell apart every second she was away from Sorrow, she needed him to eat and breathe, pretty much.. It was disgraceful and a horrid example of 'love'.
-The other sisters deserved more of a story, to be honest. I wanted to know more about them.
-There wasn't enough Gogu. He had a small sentence here and there. I felt like he should have said more as her closest friend and someone who sat on her shoulder 24/7
Positives
-Tati left in the end. Haha can you tell I can't stand her?
-Jena got Costi in the end... I loved that she could be happy and Costi finally got what he wanted after being cheated out of it so many years before...
Ehhh. I haven't finished this review but I will later......

No words it was that good.
I remember reading this when I was real young as one of the first books I ever read.
This was one of the books that got me entranced and got me starting to read books!
So magical and fun and easy to read and magical and magical? Did I already say magical!? Cause it is. It's bloody brilliant and wonderful. I can't even put it into words how great a story this is and the writing is so amazing and flows so well and arghh. No words.

Wildwood Dancing is a really, really good story that is held back from reaching its full potential by some very unfortunate pacing. The beginning is bogged down by lots of exposition, and Jena's confrontations with Cezar are repeated over and over. Marillier did some great things with the fairy tales she wove together, and I have to admit I didn't see the twist coming until a good two-thirds through the book, but it could have been much more streamlined.
