Rin was born and raised in the forest, along with all of her older brothers. Since she was a very little girl, she had a deep connection with the trees around her. They brought her solace. After her closest brother, Razo, moves to the city, Rin begins to feel like the trees that surround her have turned against her. Now she doesn’t feel at home in her forest or with her family.
The next time that Razo visits, he offers to take Rin with him so that she can see the outside world and maybe find what it is that she feels is missing. But she doesn’t just feel like something is missing from her life; she feels like something is wrong. With her. deep within her. The city is full of things that Rin has never even imagined, and while there, she meets people she feels a connection to. People she hopes might be able to help her But with a mysterious power causing trouble and targeting the royal family, Rin will have to put her personal worries aside and do everything that she can to save the kingdom and the people she loves before it is too late. This is the last installment in the Books of Bayern series, and out of the lot, it is not my favorite, but it is still a pretty good read. I loved the idea that the languages from the first three books have been continued in this one while at the same time being expanded in a way that seems counterproductive. I like the idea of being able to talk with trees, but at the same time, it seems like a power that has no usefulness in the way that the others in the series do. I would have rather had this character be stronger of mind than they were, and some of the connections are not really made in the best way possible. It is in the story, but it appears to be completely unnecessary to the plot. All in all, I did enjoy this book in the series, despite the less than satisfying ending for the last book of all the books. I really hope that one day there may be another book, as I feel like this is not the proper way to end this series. I would give this book 3.5 stars and recommend it to fans of the first three books, but you will not understand any of this story if you have not read the first three. The picture above is my own. |
