The Warden and the Wolf King

The Warden and the Wolf King by Andrew Peterson

All winter long, people in the Green Hollows have prepared for a final battle with Gnag the Nameless and the Fangs of Dang. Janner, Kalmar, and Leeli- Throne Warden, Wolf King, and Song Maiden of Anniera- are ready and willing to fight alongside the Hollowsfolk, but when the Fangs make the first move and invade Ban Rona, the children are separated. Janner is alone and lost in the hills;  Leeli is fighting Fangs from the rooftop of the city; and Kalmar, who carries a terrible secret, is on a course for the Deeps of Throg. Meanwhile, in Skree, Sara Cobbler and Maraly Weaver care for the broken Artham Wingfeather as Fangs muster for battle across the Mighty River Blapp.

Sea dragons lurk in the waters. Wicked Stranders crawl through the burrows. Ridgerunners and trolls prowl the land. Cloven haunt the forest. Monsters and Fangs and villains lie between the children and their only hope of victory- in the epic conclusion of The WIngfeather Saga.

The Good

Janner sticks with Kalmar and protects him to the very end. The hollowsfolk and Annierians alike band together to stop the evil forces of Gnag the Nameless.

The Bad

There are a few creepy looking pictures of Fangs in the book. The sea dragons eat Podo. Gnag turns into a gigantic flying dragon. There are several battles.

Ages

10+ is a good age for this book.

My Take

I wanted to cry so bad at the end of this book, but I never cry in books, so I didn’t in this one. It’s super good, but so sad and sacrificial. I loved it! Check out the book Wingfeather Tales for more Aerwiar stories! For the first book in this series, click here.

The new cover for this book (not the picture above) comes out in the fall of 2020.
