Synopsis

‘If you want adventure, you have to march right up to it and kick it in the shins...’At fourteen, barefoot and running wild, Rose is delighted to be apprenticed to Akiva, the witch of the forest. She thinks it will be all enchantment and excitement, and not so much fuss about baths. The reality is much more sober and practical—that is, until she meets a mysterious wolf in the forest and is tricked into stepping off the path...In young, naive Rose, Bastian sees a way of escape. Cursed to remain in the shape of a wolf after running afoul of a powerful enchantress, he has lived many decades under a spell, and now he is both desperate and ruthless. But by breaking part of Bastian’s curse, Rose has caught the attention of Cassandra, the enchantress who cursed him: and Cassandra is by no means ready to forgive and forget.Meanwhile, wardens have been disappearing from the forest, one by one. Rose is certain that Cassandra is behind the disappearances, but can she and Bastian get to the bottom of the matter before Akiva disappears as well? And are Bastian’s motives entirely to be trusted?Sometimes the girl in the red hood doesn’t get eaten, and sometimes the wolf isn’t the most frightening thing in the forest...

Goodreads review by Rosie

Um romance épico pelas mãos da minha autora de eleição deixa-me em pulgas. Apesar de o ter há muito, preservei-o para poder usufruir de quando em vez da sua encantadora escrita. As opiniões quanto a esta saga não são tão favoráveis e de facto o início não começou tão prometedor quanto estamos habitua......more

Goodreads review by Nicky

Sat down and finished this off in one gulp, three hundred pages in one go, this evening. That seems to be the best way for me to read Marillier's work: I remember doing the same with her other books to finish them, and enjoying them much more at that break-neck pace. Wolfskin is sort of more in my l......more
