I was lucky enough to get my hands on a copy of an ARC of In The Shadow of The Wolf Queen. As I had only read The Girl with Ink and Stars I decided to get three other books by the author to make sure I knew the writing and hoped it would make reading it much easier
Which it did. I quickly picked up the story of Ysolda and her hawk Nara. She had taken her sister's amulet and went to a tree that she felt connected to, to try and listen to the trees as her sister Hari does. She makes it back to her people, where finds that Ryders have been there and finds her sister missing where an earthquake happens. She realises she has to go and find her sister who has been taken by the Ryders of the Wolf Queen. She sets off on a journey to find her sister with Nara.
I really love Hargrave's writing, the way she writes her characters are always great. The world building also really good.
I loved how Ysolda and Nara work as a team and how Ysolda thinks about certain stuff and what she needs to do to get her sister back.
I enjoyed the journey we go on with Ysolda and was feeling the emotions as she undertakes what she has to do.
You give me an animal friendship/companion that the main character has and I will love it just love it even more. The loyalty, the compassion, the love for each other is seen throughout.
