Description

A frail young girl flees a roaring forest fire in the middle of the night desperately taking refuge in a cave where she quickly loses consciousness. She wakes up in a strange, tiny village populated by fairy-like creatures. Her hosts seem intrigued by the sparkles of light that seem to surround her. The village chieftain explains that one of their hunters found her passed out in the forest and brought her back here for treatment. He asks who she is, but she remembers nothing except for a wall and flames. The chief is baffled by her tale as there has not been any fire in the forest lately, and yet the young woman does indeed show signs of burns. Somewhat recovered and dressed in woodland clothes made by the villagers, the young lady asks to meet the hunter who found her in the forest. She asks her savior to take her to where he found her, hoping that seeing the place will restore her memory. But Meliss refuses -- the rules of the village say that only hunters can enter the forest, and all of the sparkles surrounding the girl would catch the eyes of predators living in these woods...

What follows is a tale of discovery, magic, tragedy, and adventure, as the girl discovers powers that may or may not be borne of an ancient evil. She befriends a cunning, talking wolf along the way, and together the two set out on a journey that will not soon be easily forgotten.
A beautifully illustrated, magical fairy tale sure to appeal to young teens and up, created by the award-winning team behind the world-renowned LOVE series of wordless wildlife graphic novels.

3.5 is my actual rating, but my eyes forbid me to give this less than 4 stars, so I rounded up because this has the second best illustrations with the most striking colour palette I’ve ever seen and for that alone nobody should hesitate to buy one for themselves and maybe for someone who reminds them the magical times they spent together. This can be such a cool gift. I just want to rip all of these electronic pictures aggressively and hang them on my wall. Aside from illustrations being fantastic, stunning, breathtaking, there is hardly any interesting plot i’m afraid. It was a nice adventure nonetheless and I loved that it’s set in the forest mostly and the friendship between the wolf and Twig gives all kinds of warm feelings. I decided to read this because of it’s beautiful cover when I’d seen it on NetGalley, so thank you and this is my honest review much like other reviews I write here. #Brindille #NetGalley
