I loved this!!

Vanya and the Wild Hunt is so creative! From the talking books to waterfalls in libraries, Mandanna builds a magical world full of magical creatures and exciting storylines.

I really liked how this book had high stakes, thrilling and shocking plot twists with devastating reasons behind them, and a great wholesome cast of characters. I loved seeing Vanya meet all these new people in her life, such as her parents best friends who are like Uncles to her. It was really beautiful seeing all that love and support, especially for Vanya who often felt like by being herself she would be unloved.

The ADHD representation was really brilliant in this and very important. I think a lot of young people will find solace and comfort in reading Vanya’s struggles but also her perseverance and the unconditional love being shown from her family. The ADHD representation was definitely my favourite part of the book, especially seeing Vanya come to better terms with her diagnosis.

I’m really excited for the next instalment. This left of with lots of unanswered questions and open storylines and I’m excited to see where it goes, I think it’s only onward and upward from here!

Thank you to Macmillan Children's Books for this e-arc!
