Warrior of the wild tricia levenseller5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() Once I made it past this point, however, I was sucked in. ![]() I took a little while to get hooked by the book, getting stopped at Rasmira’s coming-of-age trial, which the jacket summary reveals go horribly wrong and which I kind of didn’t want to see–both because I didn’t want to read about bad things happening to Rasmira and because a failed trial seems so cliche YA in some regards. The plot is generally predictable, but engaging characters and a swoon-worthy romance make it a strong YA novel that will give fans of the genre exactly the type of stuff they love. ![]() Warrior of the Wild is a Viking-inspired fantasy that takes place in an interestingly compact world, one with seven villages and the surrounding “wild,” which few people brave unless forced to. But when her coming-of-age trial is sabotaged and she fails the test, her father banishes her to the monster-filled wilderness with an impossible quest: to win back her honour, she must kill the oppressive god who claims tribute from the villages each year or die trying. As her father’s chosen heir, eighteen-year-old Rasmira has trained her whole life to become a warrior and lead her village. ![]()
