5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, we All believe in Fairies!, 23 Jan 2007
By Marie (North West (U.K.)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wildwood Dancing (Hardcover)
This is Juliet's first book for "young adults". I didn't realise that until I actually got it. I was hoping Wildwood Dancing would be something along the lines of her "Daughter of the Forest" itself a fantastic, magical, Natureworld-filled "read".

It's similar, in that it involves the lives of a family of young girls (between 5 - 17 years) and their experiences in the Fairy realms of the Forest. At first I was a bit doubtful, but I was quickly drawn into it, and although I have left my "young adulthood" a few decades(!) behind, am enjoying it very much.

Young adults will love it - and so will we "olds" if we open our imaginations to the magic!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic stuff!, 28 Jan 2008
By Marie (North West (U.K.)) - See all my reviews
I originally read this book in hardback when it was first published - borrowed from the Library - sorry Amazon!. So when I ordered the second of the series recently, I also got a pb copy of WWD to refresh myself on the story - and of the two, WWD is still my favourite "adult fairy tale".
Maybe it may take more than one reading for an older-adult to really appreciate the beauty of the story - for I must admit I baulked a little originally, at the idea of the heroine (Jena) carrying a frog companion about on her shoulder - and allowing him to sleep on her pillow ... Eek! Still, this is a fairy tale and allowances must be made. Of course Gogu (the frog) is not all he seems, and neither is the supposed "evil" character of the Witch of the Woods. "Good and evil" actually work together for the best result for the whole, here, (as they do in everyday life - nothing being so black or white as it appears) and it's a fascinating tale of realisation, acceptance, and growth of the young "cast" - with a happy (or at least acceptable) ending for all.

Originally I only read this book as it was another of J.M.'s - of whom I'm a growing fan - but I'm glad I did. All her work contains elements of the "magical" running through it, her Sevenwaters trilogy being a huge favourite of mine - no J.M. fan can be totally closed to a bit of fantasy in their reading. So go ahead - bring the magic of the Nature world into your life. I bet you'll find you quietly enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice read., 8 Aug 2008
By FAMOUS NAME (UNITED KINGDOM) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Wildwood Dancing (Library Binding)

Firstly, it has to be said that this has the most beautiful and eye-catching, not to say the most striking artwork for its cover I have ever seen. (by Kinuko Y. Craft ) This should push hundreds of copies if nothing else!

An eccentric - not to say 'zany' novel in places, set in an undefined era about several girls with vague personalities who live in an old castle in Transylvania who discover a secret portal to another enchanting, but frightening world.

The author wastes no time in getting the reader into the excitement with the first 'full moon' expedition, as the girls enter that other world. Though this novel is listed for 'young adults' (never quite sure what that category means...) it is both too dark for perhaps the younger child, but yet too childish in places for those that are older - especially the bit about the frog which I found rather irritating that I felt spoilt the whole thing somewhat... At first I did not see the purpose of this amphibian character - except perhaps to add a touch of 'fairytale' to the story that would appeal to younger children, but as the story unfolds, it does come out that the frog does bear some significance to the tale and plot.

All in all a nice read that did keep you interested enough to want to continue to the end, but the beautiful and most delightful artwork for the cover does suggest something just a little more enchanting and excitingly magical with characters that had a bit more definition and substance to them.
