The Warden and The Wolf King Synopsis
The Wingfeather's are starting to get used to life in the Green Hollows and the Hollowsfolk begin to accept the Wingfeather's, even the Wolf King, Kalmar (I'll always think of him as Tink). But the threat of attack from Gnag the Nameless and his Fangs looms heavy over the Green Hollows.
The attack comes fast, furious, and unexpected putting Kalmar and Janner on an adventure to find answers and end this war one way or another. Answers are found, but not what they expected.
All three of the Wingfeather children, Janner, Kalmar, and Leeli, are forced to grow into their roles and their mother, Nia, is forced to face her worst fear.
Expert Songwriter, Expert Storyteller
Andrew Peterson has a well earned reputation as a songwriter, gaining the respect of Nashville musicians. He has proven to be a master storyteller through his songs. It is no surprise that Peterson has been able to transfer his wordsmith talents to writing novels.
His first novel, On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness, the first book of the Wingfeather Saga, showed there was talent. Each book has gotten better than the last culminating in The Warden and The Wolf King.
This is much like North or Be Eaten in that there is a lot of action and travelling. Janner, Kalmar, and Leeli have come along way since leaving their adopted hometown of Glipwood. They've experienced loss and sacrifice setting the stage for the decisions they have to make in The Warden and The Wolf King. Since getting to know and love these kids over the years, you feel pride as they show maturity and selflessness.
You also get to explore Aerwiar. You go deep into the Blackwood and meet cloven and trolls. You are taken high up to the Killridge Mountains and the Castle Throg and get to face Gnag the Nameless. And you finally make it to the Shining Isle of Anniera where the Wingfeathers ruled from Castle Rysen.
The Warden and The Wolf King ties up all of the loose ends in the Wingfeather Saga. That being said, it's not a good idea to jump into the series here. It's well worth your while to start form the beginning. It's a wonderful series to share with your kids as a family time read or rip through yourself. Either way you won't be disappointed.
The Rabbit Room Store is the best place to get a copy of the book. The Rabbit Room is a place on the web created by Peterson for Christian artists to gather and discuss different ways art and religion affect their lives.
Wingfeathersaga.com is a place to find more information about the series and upcoming contests and events, one being the Hidden Wolf King.

I've read the free sample for Kindle of The Warden and the Wolf King, and it certainly made me want to read more. If only the Kindle version were cheaper.
ReplyDeleteI did the Kickstarter and it was worth every penny. You can get the four pack from the Rabbit Room for a good deal, if you haven't read them all.
DeleteI'm still finishing the novel ... but I'm glad that it's most like North or Be Eaten, as that was my fav so far in the series.
ReplyDeleteNOBE was pretty exciting and fun. TWATWK is a lot like it but with some great reveals.
