Rachel Vincent has done it again with another captivating read.
I will admit, this is the first of Vincent's books where I wasn't pleased with the ending. There was so much I wanted to know more about, though it's possible Vincent left it open for a sequel. While the book did have an ending worthy of Vincent's usual storytelling, I just personally wanted to keep going. So I guess that's why I wasn't as pleased with how it ended. By no means does this mean that the book didn't end well. I just felt it ended abruptly and wanted more.
Red Wold by Rachel Vincent
The book itself has no real "villain" and I find that interesting. I love how the story is about learning to accept who you are (and possibly your fate) and Adele's journey to find out if she can really do right by everyone. All Adele wanted was to have the life of her dreams with the man she loves. But finding out she is a guardian really puts a stopper on that perfect life. And when she finds out what she has to do as a guardian and all its hard choices, her life will never be the same.
Red Wolf was a compelling read from the very first page. As always, Vincent leaves you wanting to know more about her characters and the world that surrounds them. It was interesting to see how Vincent changed her writing style slightly to fit the story setting. (I assume it takes place in medieval-ish France in an obvious fantasy world).
If this is your first Rachel Vincent read, I think you will be pleased. Although I would personally recommend her other works before this one as I do think they are more captivating. (The Menagerie Series and the Soul Screamer series are my fav). But you won't be disappointed with this read. As always, in my opinion, anything Vincent writes is literally gold and so I highly recommend picking up a copy today. Not to mention the cover is absolutely stuff and worth owning this book for that alone.
