What if you had one year to save everything you loved?
ONE PRINCESS. Merida of DunBroch needs a change. She loves her
family—jovial King Fergus, proper Queen Elinor, the mischievous triplets— and
her peaceful kingdom. But she’s frustrated by its sluggishness; each day, the
same. Merida longs for adventure, purpose, challenge – maybe even, someday,
love.
TWO GODS. But the fiery Princess never expects her disquiet to manifest
by way of Feradach, an uncanny supernatural being tasked with rooting out rot
and stagnation, who appears in DunBroch on Christmas Eve with the intent to
demolish the realm – and everyone within. Only the intervention of the
Cailleach, an ancient entity of creation, gives Merida a shred of hope:
convince her family to change within the year – or suffer the eternal
consequences.
THREE VOYAGES. Under the watchful eyes of the gods, Merida leads a
series of epic journeys to kingdoms near and far in an attempt to inspire
revolution within her family. But in her efforts to save those she loves from
ruin, has Merida lost sight of the Clan member grown most stagnant of all –
herself?
FOUR SEASONS TO SAVE DUNBROCH – OR SEE IT DESTROYED, FOREVER.
Quick Review:
I used to read Maggie's books years ago. So when I heard that she was writing a sequel of sorts book to Brave, I knew that I wanted to be a part of it. I honestly wasn't too sure if I'd like it, but I was willing to give it a chance.
I did have a bit of an issue with the pacing of the book and found that it didn't always capture my attention, but it was somewhat of a small issue and didn't largely impact what I thought of the book as a whole.
I thought Maggie did a really nice job of capturing the spirit of Brave and Merida. Maggie's descriptions and writing style lend itself beautifully to a book like this and she surpassed what I thought she would be able to do. I've not seen Brave in a while so I'm not too sure how the characterization of the people holds up when compared to the movie, but I liked the people. I thought they were interesting and fun and I'm glad we got to spend time with characters beside Merida and her mom.
