Ladataan... The Wolf and the WoodsmanTekijä: Ava Reid
   - Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta.  Maddz | Feb 18, 2024 |   The violence done to many animals and people in the book is excessive as hell and was rough getting through, however, so a big content warning about that. The ending isn't necessarily happily ever after either and is more open-ended and realistic than most fiction I have read based on a similar pseudo-medieval period. Could've been worse, but the book didn't really blow me away either. (  ) nessie_arduin | Feb 1, 2024 |  ) HauntedTaco13 | Dec 29, 2023 | There is so much going on in the Wolf and the Woodsman that I wish the book had cut some of the events in the first 190-ish pages as they felt very repetitive. The book ramped up in the latter section and I did stay up at night to finish. However, I am still quite conflicted about how to rate this book. The FL didn't end up growing on me all the way even though I emphasized a lot with what she had gone/was going through. The ML had very little character development and it would have been very appreciated if we had been able to get into his thoughts a bit. The romance seemed to come out of nowhere tbh and some events were quite head-scratching to me eg overall fate of the turul. My favorites were Bierdna, Szabin, and Tuula and I would have loved if they had featured a lot more. DramPan | Sep 6, 2023 | lyrrael | Aug 3, 2023 | ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

HTML: In the vein of Naomi Novik's New York Times bestseller Spinning Silver and Katherine Arden's national bestseller The Bear and the Nightingale, this unforgettable debut?? inspired by Hungarian history and Jewish mythology??follows a young pagan woman with hidden powers and a one-eyed captain of the Woodsmen as they form an unlikely alliance to thwart a tyrant. But when monsters attack the Woodsmen and their captive en route, slaughtering everyone but ?vike and the cold, one-eyed captain, they have no choice but to rely on each other. Except he's no ordinary Woodsman??he's the disgraced prince, Gáspár Bárány, whose father needs pagan magic to consolidate his power. Gáspár fears that his cruelly zealous brother plans to seize the throne and instigate a violent reign that would damn the pagans and the Yehuli alike. As the son of a reviled foreign queen, Gáspár understands what it's like to be an outcast, and he and ?vike make a tenuous pact to stop his brother. As their mission takes them from the bitter northern tundra to the smog-choked capital, their mutual loathing slowly turns to affection, bound by a shared history of alienation and oppression. However, trust can easily turn to betrayal, and as ?vike reconnects with her estranged father and discovers her own hidden magic, she and Gáspár need to decide whose side they're on, and what they're willing to give up for a nat Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

-I was't keen on the first person narrative
-I felt it was overlong
-It was mis-titled; it should have been The Wolf-Girl and the Woodsman, but I suppose it would have been too long. I kept wondering when the wolf was going to put in an appearance.
I did enjoy the story, being Hungarian mythology rather than the more usual Western European based fantasy. As a first novel, it wasn't bad; better than the other first novel I read last year.
Recommended with some reservations.
