Wildwood Dancing
by Juliet Marillier
I saw this book drifting around the sites of many reviewers I admire before I actually took the time to order it from the library. And (*takes a deep breath*)... it was incredible.
Juliet Marillier offers larger-than-life characters, some who are wise, others silly and out of their minds, and others completely stupid (*glares at a certain group of antagonists*). But I feel as if none of them could match up to the expertly-written whirlwinds of personality known as Jena and her pet frog, Gogu. (*fangirls*) Seriously, don't get me started on how amazing the characters in this book are!!
And THE PLOT TWISTS!!!! OH MY STARS!! ...Guys, the plot twists in WILDWOOD DANCING are SO GOOD...!!!! ...I shall refrain from spelling them all out to you.
As to the writing style: Wow. Just wow. Juliet Marillier steals your heart from the first sentence, and doesn't let go until the book is finished. And then you just sit there and think, What am I supposed to do with my life?
And the themes this book had to offer were so wonderful! My favourite message had to be "respect brings respect". :)
So wow. Just wow. Don't hesitate. Read it. Honestly. You won't regret it. <3
Oh, one more thing! The cover! Whenever you read something that sounds familiar, look at the cover. It's a bit like a game of "I spy" and is oh-so-much-fun (particularly because of the AWESOME PLOT TWISTS!!).
You may want to know: There is kissing, as well as some violence and immodesty. There is also a brief scene in which a man forcefully kisses a woman against her will.
