![]() ![]() I cannot wait for my finished copy to come in.ĭon't forget to pick up the new edition of West too! I will be posting pictures of my preorders on my Insta-stories this next week once they come out. ![]() Thank you so much HMH and Edith Pattou for sending me an ARC. Edith Pattou is the author of several fantasy novels, including East, an ALA Top Ten Best Book for Young Adults. A white bear appears at a poor Norwegian farmer’s door, promising a reversal of the family’s fortunes in exchange for worrisomely fearless Rose. I'm so excited to have gotten to read it. Using multiple narrators, Pattou expands the Scandinavian folktale East of the Sun and West of the Moon to epic lengthadding little to the original. Though West isn't as good as East, it is well worth the read. I also really love how the characters have developed since the ending of East.Įast will always hold a special place in my heart. It was also so nice to get to know Rose's children. It was so nice to get to read from Neddy, Rose's Mother and Father, and Charles' perspectives. I absolutely adored the multiple perspectives throughout this book. She's one of my all-time favorite characters. It was so nice to get to spend time with her again. Rose is a such strong, independent, and inspiring character. ![]() In 1991 she fulfilled her childhood dream of becoming a novelist, publishing the fantasy novel Heros Song. She also began keeping a writers notebook, an idea gleaned from a reading of Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh. ![]() West is a lovely combination of lyrical writing, a plot imbued with Scandinavian legends/myths/fairytales, fantastical adventures, and lovely characters that you cannot help but love. SIDELIGHTS: Edith Pattou was inspired to become a writer after reading C. ![]()
