Narration In Favor Of Books Wildwood Dancing (Wildwood #1)

High in the Transylvanian woods, at the castle Piscul Draculi, live five daughters and their doting father. It's an idyllic life for Jena, the second eldest, who spends her time exploring the mysterious forest with her constant companion, a most unusual frog. But best by far is the castle's hidden portal, known only to the sisters. Every Full Moon, they alone can pass through it into the enchanted world of the Other Kingdom. There they dance through the night with the fey creatures of this magical realm. But their peace is shattered when Father falls ill and must go to the southern parts to recover, for that is when cousin Cezar arrives. Though he's there to help the girls survive the brutal winter, Jena suspects he has darker motives in store. Meanwhile, Jena's sister has fallen in love with a dangerous creature of the Other Kingdom--an impossible union it's up to Jena to stop. When Cezar's grip of power begins to tighten, at stake is everything Jena loves: her home, her family, and the Other Kingdom she has come to cherish. To save her world, Jena will be tested in ways she can't imagine--tests of trust, strength, and true love.

Column About Books Wildwood Dancing (Wildwood #1)

I never thought I'd say this about a Juliet Marillier book, but... WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!!!I love Juliet Marillier. Love her with the burning passion of a thousand suns. She's one of my go-to authors, the rare few I can count on to not let me down. Except, apparently, when it came to writing Wildwood Dancing. There's a bunch of stuff I liked in this book, number one being Gogu. Best frog-prince ever. EVER. Also, Juliet Marillier is generally a master at evoking exactly the emotion she

I can't say I really liked it, it's more of a 2,5 stars situation.I had some issues with the characters. To be honest, I can't say there was a single one that I actually liked.First off: Cezar, the main antagonist. He seems like a mere checklist of odious qualities, with no personality to back him up. An odious villain is a thing of beauty, but it needs a little something to give him substance instead of just "because of evilness". For example, Ken Follet's World Without End has an antagonist



3.5 of 5 stars at The BiblioSanctum https://bibliosanctum.com/2016/04/29/...After finishing Wildwood Dancing, Ive decided to give it a solid 3.5 stars. Considering this is my first Juliet Marillier book that didnt rate at least a 4, I probably should be feeling more disappointed, especially since, out of all her older titles, this was one Id been looking forward to reading the most. But honestly, I am not. The reality is, while Im pretty convinced that Marillier is incapable of writing a bad

Gorgeous cover art, gorgeous story!Wildwood Dancing is mostly a loose retelling of "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" fairy tale, but this novel, set in Transylvania in about the 1500's, pulls in threads from various fairy tales and legends and weaves them together. There are five sisters, ages 5-17, living in a castle on a mountain. Every full moon, the sisters go through a magical portal to the "Other Kingdom," a fairy land in kind of an alternate reality set very close to the real world. There

What an enchanting story. The kind that makes your eyes sparkle with wonder.Juliet Marillier is a fine new discovery of an author for me. Her writing is tremendously elegant, soft to the ear, and flowing like a gentle but unwavering wave. It will catch your attention but also manage into holding it. Juliet Marillier is talented, without doubt.Fairy tale retellings sweep me off my feet. I love princesses, knights, otherworldly creatures, prophecies, curses, witches, seeing true love bloom and

DNF @ 80%Unbelievably disappointing. Utterly underwhelming. Filled with contrivances, plot holes, and rampant stupidity on the part of the MC. I spent the entirety of this book PISSED, mostly at the weakness of our supposedly headstrong, intelligent, and capable heroine, because while I was told that she was all of these things, I was never shown that she was any of these things. All I saw of her was a weak-willed doormat of an MC, so spineless that I'm surprised she was able to stand upright.
