A strong tale of banding together, believing in hope and love triumphing over fear and hatred.
The adventure Feo goes on is tightly packed with thrill and emotion, but I think the strength of the story is the characters.
Feo is a strong-willed and wild person, more used to wolves than people. However, she is also untrusting and reckless. Her development over the story as she learns to open up and trust more was well intertwined with her journey to save her Mother.
Ilya was perhaps my favourite character, a child soldier with a kind heart and a hidden passion.
The boy afraid of the cold, who still followed Feo through it to do what was just and right. He was described similarly to that towards the end, and I really loved that passage!
Perhaps some parts of the story are a little idealised in the way the characters are able to triumph over certain things--but in a way I actually find important, especially for a book aimed at children. Love can conquer so many things, and I love how strong the heart of this story beat through every page!
