I have not hated a character as much as I hate Tati in a long while. She is a complete idiot and way too-stupid-to-live. Apart from the insta-love, her sheer egoistic behavior throughout the book, and thoughtlessness towards her sisters, her then literally wasting away for no good reason and almost ...

I have yet to read anything by Juliet Marillier that I haven't loved. Wildwood Dancing started out a little slow, but once it got going I couldn't put it down. I loved the characters even though some of them could be frustrating at times. And speaking of characters, I wanted to punch Cesar in the f...
~~Moved from GR: 9/290 left!~~ Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier Wildwood Dancing may be, externally, a fairytale retelling, but on a deeper level, it is a commentary on feminism and the role of women. Jena, the main character, is strong and perceptive, but trapped and stifled by her role as ...
This is a book to be read in the fall, preferably a crisp October day. Wrap yourself in a warm blanket, curl up in your favorite reading seat, lose yourself in this magical fantasy. I believe that hard work and perseverance supersedes natural talent, but sometimes, there is just no denying that som...

I can write long, really ranty reviews about books I disliked, but when it comes to a book like Wildwood Dancing, a book that I absolutely adored it's hard to put into words what made it so amazing. But, I'll try my best. First of all, the world-buildin...
Wildwood Dancing is a wonderful book. I cannot pinpoint the exact reason I didn't fall head over heals in love with it. Like many of Juliet Marillier's books, it took a while for me to become invested in the story and its characters. There's a slow build-up to the main action, which seems very chara...
Three and a half stars. So close to rounding up to four stars but the ending just fell short of that magic. I love this story, I really, really love this story. It has all the right touches of a redone fairy tale. Enough newness and enough oldness blended together.Jena and her four sisters find a po...
I feel absolutely no shame in admitting that I initially read this book solely because of the beautiful cover by Kinuko Craft. I've loved her work for years, so when I say that the best thing about the book is the cover, that is by no means a slight against the writing. Actually, Marillier writes qu...
