I love when a book has a setting that becomes an essential character that somehow touches every last bit of the story. The mysterious Dragonswood is key in this book. While it serves as a sanctuary to dragons and fey, others are warned to keep their distance. The wood is heavily guarded and danger lurks within. There’s an uneasiness surrounding Dragonswood, and it creeps into everyone and everything on Wilde Island. With that backdrop in place, there is unbelievable tension when Tess finds herself drawn to Dragonswood. It all heats up when Tess is accused of being a witch and she must flee or face unbelievable torture. You want more? Well, Tess can see visions. I won’t spill it here, but the WAY she sees these visions is pretty intriguing. When Tess sees a sword wielding guy in her visions, the tension within the dangerous wood multiplies by a billion! See, I told you the setting adds the spice to this one. I can’t forget the surrounding villages. The villagers are in chaos and in a panic because the king has recently died. You wanna’ talk about some paranoia? They even consider going into Dragonswood to get food. They are willing to risk it all and enter the forbidden wood. There we go again with the awesome setting. With magical creatures, witch hunters, dragon fights, romance, and a twisty plot, Dragonswood caught my attention and did not let go. I couldn’t stop once I got started. Yep, read it in one day. That good! The fantabulous setting in this fantasy just screams of stunning and it’s the thing that made Dragonswood so special for me.
Great book! I wanted this book for a long time since I found out the movie was based on the book. But I never thought the book would be so much different! In the beginning it did follow the movie pretty closely but in the middle of the book it took a complete 180 degree turn and I couldn't help but begin to compare the book with the movie. I found the book did win (as is usually the case for books made into movies) I loved the ending! It was a great psychological thriller. I am so glad I finally found the book after many years of searching! It's such an old book its actually really hard to find and I was surprised! Definitely added to my list of favorites!
