Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier

4.0

---

Another brilliant book by Juliet Marillier. It's tamer than the Sevenwaters series but with just as much depth and a completely magical read. Jena is a great protagonist, strong, flawed and entirely likeable. Her friendship with the frog is a thing of beauty, and my hate for Cezar knows no bounds. Seriously, never has a guy riled me as much as him. the mysogynistic patronising bile that comes out of his mouth at every turn makes my blood boil and my toes curl just thinking about it. Which is as it should be. The sisters' situation escalates for the worse really quickly but you never feel it is rushed, and the resolution is very satisfying.
