Disney, bold & brave, magical 5 stars As a huge fan of Maggie Stiefvater’s, I was to excited to receive an ARC of Bravely from Disney Books on NetGalley. After reading it I can confidently say I cannot imagine another author who would have done justice to the continuation of Merida’s story. “Red hair, keen eyes, quick brain, built to start fires but not to put them out.” - Prologue, p. xiii Stiefvater writes in such a way that magic is an intrinsic part of every story, even when it is not fully present. The imagery is vivid, the emotions are strong, the plot is easy to follow yet hard to predict. As Merida makes a bet with gods of old and takes on the challenge of changing her family before destruction comes for DunBroch, readers get sucked into a story about family and nature, growth and magic. This story is also an amazing continuation of the Disney/Pixar film Brave. The wild triplets are grown boys now, with their personalities expanded and separate from each other. Fergus

ReplyDeleteI pulled three books off of my shelf that I thought you'd enjoy. Also, have you started reading any Jane Austen? She is my favorite author and you are welcome to borrow them.
The three books I picked out are The Tale of Two Cities by Charles dickens, The Alchemist by Paolo Cohelo and Stones by the River by Urusula Hegi.
Let me know if you'd like them.

Did Jane Austen write Pride and Prejudice? I think that's the only one of hers I've read, but I really liked it.
