I liked the way the scenery seemed to come alive and the deep emotions Willa feels through the story-her longing for companions and her internal wrestling over the wrongness of what her tribe has asked her to do. Judging from the writing style, I really want to read more. Willa of the Wood is the first book by Robert Beatty that I’ve read, though I think I own two of his other books. What do you do when you realize that the society you were born and raised in is rife with evil? Do you raise your voice? Do you stand up against it?Īs forces of unfathomable destruction encroach on her forest home, Willa must decide who she truly is, facing deadly force with warmest compassion, sinister corruption with trusted alliance, and finding a home for her longing heart. Only then does she begin to discover the shocking truth: that not all of her day-folk enemies are the same, and that the foundations of her own Faeran society are crumbling. When Willa’s curiosity leaves her hurt and stranded in the day-folk world, she calls upon the old powers of her beloved grandmother, and the unbreakable bonds of her forest allies, to escape. It’s dangerous work–the day-folk kill whatever they don’t understand–but Willa will do anything to win the approval of the padaran, the charismatic leader of the Faeran people. She creeps into the cabins of the day-folk under cover of darkness and takes what they won’t miss. Willa, a young night-spirit, is her clan’s best thief.
