Really beautiful and wild read, with amazing descriptive language which makes you feel truly immersed in Tilda's world. I love how everything ties together at the end and has a great moral too. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with a love for nature or adventure.

Wolf Siren
A truly inspiring book about how just a small amount of difference can seem terrifying, but if you accept it it becomes beautiful. I love the inclusion of women growths, for example the cycles and how the pain is mixed with Reds cycles and transformations. I didn't like the ending where Aerona died, because she was my favorite character. But then again Beth O'Brien shows the sisterly love and trust between Red and Aerona that it makes it almost lovely. But I still cried... I love the depiction of Delaware because she is described in a green dress with a white t shirt underneath, and she is described with her head nearly always in a book, to that I can relate. And so that is why she is my second favorite character. I adored this book and the moving story inside it, and I really hope it wins the award because Wolf Siren and Beth O'Brien definetly deserve it. In memory of Aerona.
