Children of the Wild (Children of the Wild Series) by Krysta Tawlks – Review by Brandy Rymer
Children of the Wild by Krysta Tawlks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was such an amazing read, I was not expecting Elbert to become a magical creature of such magnitude, it was awesome! I seriously thought he was becoming a chicken, so when Valora nicknamed Pollo, it had me cracking up. This story has it all, from amazing magical beasts, shapeshifters, and two families who showcase such love for one another, to the point of being willing to do anything to protect them. Even the animals in this story had great personalities, and no characters were left out in being dimensionally developed. The time era that this book was written in fits perfectly with the settings that are drawn beautifully in the words of the story, it’s like being right there living alongside our huge family, all working together on the farm, and in the gardens. I love that each character is so approachable, they are all down to earth, and the townsfolk treat one another as a big family. It shows that everyone takes care of their neighbors. We even have our local gossip who runs the local shop where everyone needs to go for supplies. I hope this story will continue because I would love to continue following the story of Elbert and Valora, and their families along their magical journey. The trappers are all still out there hunting these magical beasts, what a great continuation to build upon as well. I’m adding this to my must-read list and will be watching the author for more fantastical books to come.
