🦋Book Tour🦋 Arvia:Wings of the Wild by D.H. Willison

With thanks to @TheWrite_Reads, @WriteReadsTour and @dhwillison for my copy and place on the tour.

Synopsis

With their homes apparently safe from the magical storms, Darin and Rinloh venture to an isolated elven village and another ancient mystery: ruins of an imperial city whose entire population vanished centuries ago.

The duo befriend a host of eccentric new characters, from a chipper ogress and hipster troll to a deadpan griffin. Yet the Forest of Nightmares challenges them as never before. Merciless carnivorous trees, subterranean horrors, ethereal creatures no mortal weapon can slay… and most sinister of all, the greed and ambition lurking within the human heart.

Darin and Rinloh’s empathic connection grows stronger the deeper into the wilderness they go, but will it be enough to stop a dark conspiracy from ravaging the land?

Arvia: Wings of the Wild challenges the harpy-human duo with their grandest adventure yet. They must balance their deepening relationship as they sharpen their skills and work together as never before to unravel a deadly new plot.

Review

This is a fantasy novel with a difference! The highly imaginative world, cool characters and otherworldly creatures completely sweep us up in the chaos unfolding. The skilful writing seamlessly blends the ordinary with the extraordinary for an exciting tale brimming with adventure, mystery and humour.

There’s never a dull moment as we follow Darin and Rinloh on their separate yet converging quests. Their deep bond and connection can be felt and it’s beautiful to see this grow as they develop an intriguing new way to communicate. I loved the way they are always thinking of the other; their dialogue and inner voices made for some entertaining reading.

The rich and vibrant surroundings put the reader in the centre of the action as we explore the perilous wilderness right alongside our main characters. We see the different customs as our human character mixes with the fantastical world, some of them quite terrifying! I also really enjoyed seeing all the different magic in play which piques our curiosity.

There’s a wide range of unique characters with their own skills and knowledge to bring to the adventure. Fogmort and Oolandra were great side characters and I enjoyed the team spirit and togetherness that radiated from the travelling party.

As hijinks and schemes ensue, they meet new friends and foes along the way. It’s tense and a bit of a puzzle to unravel as we wonder how they will make it out of the dangerous situation they find themselves in.

Arvia: Wings of the Wild is a fun and amusing story about friendship, believing in yourself, overcoming prejudice, and making a difference. It’s wonderfully creative and full of colour – looking forward to joining the gang on their next mission!
