A review by juddicted
Das Geheimnis der Ältesten by Inbali Iserles

Ohh, it is soo good to be back on a journey with Isla.


I really enjoyed this book. The beginning was a little tediously, though I think it's only my personal opinion, because I was waiting anxiously for Siffrin to return. Otherwise the whole book was a joyful read and I can't say enough how much I adore the magical elements - it fits foxes so well! I also love how family-centered this book is. Most of the motivation of characters are concerning their family members, which is adorable end refreshing.

The moment Siffrin came back, the story got my full attention.

got hurt

or whenever some foxes

died

:


I honestly have to say I didn't expect

Haiki

to be the bad guy. I was confused about his role throughout the whole book, but he didn't catch my suspicions, so well it was well done!

That last few pages, when Siffrin and Isla had their talk. I mean I know foxes don't kiss, but I was like:


And oobviously, the author knows how to torture me, why can't

Siffrin and Isla stay together and have to be seperated at the end of every book

.

I'm wondering how many books we will get. I kind of hope it will never end. Or at least continue with a spin-off with Pirie :P
