Resumen del Editor

Echo Alkaev's safe and carefully structured world falls apart when her father leaves for the city and mysteriously disappears. Believing he is lost forever, Echo is shocked to find him half-frozen in the winter forest six months later, guarded by a strange talking wolf - the same creature who attacked her as a child. The wolf presents Echo with an ultimatum: if she lives with him for one year, he will ensure her father makes it home safely. But there is more to the wolf than Echo realizes.

In his enchanted house beneath a mountain, each room must be sewn together to keep the home from unraveling, and something new and dark and strange lies behind every door. When centuries-old secrets unfold, Echo discovers a magical library full of books-turned-mirrors, and a young man named Hal who is trapped inside of them. As the year ticks by, the rooms begin to disappear and Echo must solve the mystery of the wolf's enchantment before her time is up - otherwise Echo, the wolf, and Hal will be lost forever.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Epic and engrossing. Magic pulsates through every page.... Readers will ache when it's over and want to start all over again. A lush, captivating new twist on beloved fairy tales.” (Kirkus, starred review)

Ending has technical difficulties

I enjoyed the story. As always Elizabeth Evans narration is fabulous!
At the end the book keeps turning itself off and on, over and over. Hopefully it can be repaired.
I need more books narrated by ELIZABETH EVANS.

good but a bit too long

The story was good, I liked the world/character building. It was a bit too long though, I ended up skipping a couple of chapters, but didn't get lost. I liked Howl.

Well done storytelling!

I definitely enjoyed this one from Joanna, it feels like a genuine fairy tail story! The characters were very well done, great world building and an interesting plot. Definitely recommended for anyone that likes fairy tales and especially Uprooted by Naomi Novik.

Mmm...

Too much nonsensical magic for my taste. So sad because I really wanted to like this book.

Great Story!

I really enjoyed listening to this book. The author takes the time to describe every little detail with such vivid imagery. I just snuggled up with my pillow and listened for hours on end.

I couldn’t

I couldn’t get past the gag-me-with-a-spoon evil step mother. I kept hoping for the wolf but it’s coming would be too late to save me.

If you’re looking for a fantasy CLEAN read THIS IS IT

The Performance is stellar (the vocalist/reader is my favorite and I immensely enjoy hearing her bc I can Focus on the STORY not just on the voice)
Excellent story
Classic fairytale vibes
Sweet romance
A twist at the end I had not figured out
Awesome for a young reader (who doesn’t wanna run into “uncomfy” romance scenes)

But excellent also for those like myself in their twenties who love a good story.

love love love

If you are a fan of the Winter witch trilogy, sc pinning silver, uprooted , etc. you will love this! listened to it all in one sitting ⭐

Enchanting!

I loved the unique spin on this classic folk tale, East of the Sun West of the Moon.

The magic library was so fun to explore alongside Echo, and the wolf's shame over his wildness was heartbreaking.

Nice diversion from real life.

Not to deep. Just a fantasy diversion from real life. I enjoyed it.
Magic and adventure. Beauty and the Beast type story.
