Juliet Marillier’s The Amber Owl
I can’t believe I missed that a new Juliet Marillier book came out back in February! (It hasn’t gotten a US release yet, but still.) Anyway, this is the story of a young woman living a simple life in a small village, and oh yeah SHE CAN COMMUNICATE WITH ANIMALS, the best power!!! But obviously she keeps it secret so she’s not burned as a witch, just chilling with her small dog companion, who is a shapeshifter! And that’s when the Ruler sends a team in to try and cut a path through the mystical forest to find its treasure, and the woman is sucked into a bunch of political shenanigans and adventures. Really great characters here, lots to do with storytelling, which I loved. This is the first of a duology and I can’t wait for part two! A/A-.
