4.5/5
I might be repeating myself when writing about Juliet Marillier's books, but they all evoke similar feelings in me: enchantment and even slight addiction. More often than not the plots are somewhat predictable, yet her stories are transportative despite having an idea of the general way things will unfold. And the crucial scenes always manage to exceed my expectations.
Wildwood Dancing also confirmed my theory that Marillier can bring to life pretty much any setting with its folktales and traditions. Following the lives of five sisters in Transylvania, where full moons are brimming with magic, was such a fascinating journey. One that I'll continue with the companion novel sooner rather than later.
