The magic/world was a take I haven’t encountered before although the scope of action was a bit limited. It was somewhat light on the romance but at least there was some. ( ) Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5 Stars) Title: The Will and the Wilds Author(s): Charlie N. Holmberg Character(s): ― Enna Rydar: 20 years old, Brunette, Blue Eyed ― Maekallus: Red, Yellow Eyed Setting: ― Tag(s): Romance, Fantasy, Supernatural Content Rating: PG POV: First Person (Heroine) Smexy Level: Subtle Favorite Quote(s): ― "Beware the narvals, formed from the spilled blood of bastards. They feed upon souls, and will steal one with a willing kiss." ― "Little mortal, you’ve just half a soul left. Be careful how you divide it." ― "What is a soul if not an extension of the heart?" ― “I am the afterlife. I was created by death. I am the end. When I perish, I am gone.” Overall Opinion: To think that a kiss, a small and brief kiss, could change one's soul and pushed the characters towards a life or death predicament when a sudden bargain is made. The author was able to graced us with a whimsical fantasy novel that she was able to bring to life with her easy going writing style, unique and diverse characters and intriguing plot. From page one, the reader is brought into this fantasy world filled with mortals and mysting, and the stone that alters the lives of Maekallus and Enna forever. Despite how much I adore this read I will notate that I wished the author would have touch more base on the Deep (a supernatural realm so to speak) and the creatures that lurked around Wildwood. That was an element of the story that initially drew me in and I was slightly disappointed she deferred from providing more details in regards to that aspect when it was obvious the romance portion was the main focus of the plot, causing that to be pushed aside. Which wasn't bad mind you but I was left wanting to learn more about the mythical creatures that lurked through the woods, their history and horrid behavior. Nevertheless, it was an enthralling supernatural and fantasy read that ended on a high note (finally an ending I can stand by) in which case I would recommend to just about anyone to pick this up and give it a go. You won't be disappointed. I had a hard time putting this down, because it was just so vivid. It's definitely a "kissing book" but in a way that's integral to the plot. I loved the atmospheric setting, and all of the descriptions of supernatural creatures. It's only a "Beauty and the Beast" retelling in a subtle & creative way, but it can hold its own with the best of them. I guarantee this book won't appeal to everyone, but it certainly appeals to me! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
A story of truce and trickery from the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Paper Magician series. Enna knows to fear the mystings that roam the wildwood near her home. When one tries to kill her to obtain an enchanted stone, Enna takes a huge risk: fighting back with a mysting of her own. Maekallus's help isn't free. His price? A kiss. One with the power to steal her soul. But their deal leaves Maekallus bound to the mortal realm, which begins eating him alive. Only Enna's kiss, given willingly, can save him from immediate destruction. It's a temporary salvation for Maekallus and a lingering doom for Enna. Part of her soul now burns bright inside Maekallus, making him feel for the first time. Enna shares Maekallus's suffering, but her small sacrifice won't last long. If she and Maekallus can't break the spell binding him to the mortal realm, Maekallus will be consumed completely-and Enna's soul with him. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
