_________________________________

There is one rule in the small and prosperous town of Mistaken -
if you spend a night within its borders, you belong to it forever.

The Warding Stones that surround Greer Mackenzie's town have stood for as long as she can remember, erected by the mysterious Benevolence to keep out the Bright Eyeds - unthinkable monsters that haunt the deep forest.

But the barrier works both ways, and like everyone else in Mistaken, Greer is trapped.

A mapmaker and eccentric dreamer, Greer has always ached to explore beyond the borders of the town. And when her beloved is cast out beyond the Warding Stones, she is the only one who will dare to try to rescue him. But as she treks through the cold and pitiless wilderness, it is not only the Bright Eyeds she has to fear.

Set on a path to uncover the truth about the founding of Mistaken, and her own origins, Greer begins to uncover secrets hidden in the depths of the forest - secrets that don't want to be let out.

Deeply atmospheric and profoundly romantic, A Land So Wide is a breathtaking and deliciously dark fairytale that rumbles with the threat of the unknown . . .

    Ein Hauch von "The Village" 🌲

    Der 1. Teil hat mir sehr gut gefallen, da er mich an die Atmosphäre des Films "The Village " erinnert hat. Es gibt so viele Fragen und Mysterien, die im 2. Teil mehr und mehr entschlüsselt werden. Dennoch war der 2. Teil schwächer und nicht mehr ganz so atmosphärisch düster. Die Protagonistin hat mir jedoch gut gefallen, genauso wie das Setting in einer Kolonie im 18. Jahrhundert. Sprachlich auch sehr schön zu lesen. Klare Empfehlung!
