THE FIRST DAUGHTER IS FOR THE THRONE
THE SECOND DAUGHTER IS FOR THE WOLF

Hannah Whitten's beginning For the Wolf was an instant New York Times bestseller and word-of-mouth phenomenon. Now, the eagerly awaited sequel, For the Throne, concludes her brilliant dark tale of love, magic and the secrets written in the stars.

Red and the Wolf have finally contained the threat of the Five Kings, but at a steep cost. Red's beloved sister - Neve, the First Daughter - is lost in the Shadowlands. But Neve has an ally, even if it's one she'd rather never speak to again - the rogue king Solmir. Together they must journey across a dangerous landscape to find the mysterious Heart Tree - and finally claim the gods' dark, twisted powers for themselves.

Praise for the Wilderwood Duology:

'I loved it! I was completely swept away by the world-building, the characters, and the delicate gorgeousness of the writing! A brilliant dark fantasy beginning' Jodi Picoult

'Dazzling. . . This is sure to enchant' Publishers Weekly

An unputdownable fairy tale that traces the boundaries of duty, love, and loss. A masterful beginning from a must-read new voice in fantasy Kirkus

A glorious journey through woods deep and so very dark. Erin Craig, author of House of Salt and Sorrow

This book has managed to make me excited for the character, that didn't interest me in the first book at all. I won't pretend I wasn't overwhelmed with the worldbuilding at all, but I loved the world so much, it was easy to forgive the (too) fast pacing most of the times! A worthy second Part!

Although "For The Throne" was entertaining in some parts, I think it lacked the charme that "For The Wolf" had. There was some sort of unique coziness to the first book and I loved how everything built up to this point where Eammon and Red became equals, gods. "For The Throne" on the other hand felt kind of oblivious sometimes. Right from the get go it was clear to me how Neves story would end because of the entire "mirrored" aspect of her journey. And it took so much of the tension from her story. I just wished she would've been able to have her own journey where she comes to terms with herself without having to be the "negative" to her sister and have her sisters story forced onto her. I didn't feel a connection between Solmir and Neve at all and cannot even fathom how on earth these twenwould've ended up together if it wasn't for the "mirror prophecy". It was so bad for me that at some point I was truly wishing to finish their POV chapters as fast as possible so that I might have the chance to end up with another Red POV chapter. Because Red and Eammons dynamic was way more wholesome and entertaining! I really had to fight the urge to dnf this book in between because there was just too much traveling and Solmirs constant downtalking of himself made me grow tired of him. Yes, we got it. He is aware that he made mistakes and can't be redeemed but he doesn't have to mention that in every second sentence! So all in all I am a little bit sad that this second instalment in the duology didn't live up to it's predecessor.
