Amy Wilson has this incredible talent for drawing the reader into the story so they feel a character themselves.
How I missed the atmospheric world of Owl, Mallory and Alberic and their unique seasonal talents and powers. It’s November and the summer heat is oppressive. Owl isn’t coping well with the heat, she and Mallory aren’t speaking and Alberic is missing. The Earl of October, Alberic’s father, should have heralded in the Autumn by now but he, too, is missing, There is much happening in the courts as the seasons continue to argue and fight amongst themselves. Owl is being led back to that world and to her father, Jack Frost. Though desperate to spend more time with Jack, she must first find Alberic.
It is a dangerous quest involving Father Time, seeds planted and plans for Summer to rule the court forever. Owl will need help from Mallory to enter court and it is their teamwork that guides them to find and rescue Alberic. Bringing him home to rest and gain strength, the trio put together a plan and here the true adventure really begins.
Owl and her friends meet with openly hostile and untrusting characters, resurfacing memories and dangerous journeys. This book had me hooked and remembering how much I loved A Girl Called Owl. Owl hasn’t changed much though she is older and more prepared for what the court might throw at her. Alberic has changed considerably, is taller and looks more like his season than ever before. Could he be ready to follow in his fathers footsteps?
This is a exciting adventure worth reading- join Owl and friends to put the world to rights again.
