Warrior of the Wild by Tricia Levenseller

Warrior of the Wild

by Tricia Levenseller

Eighteen-year-old Rasmira has always been both praised and scorned for her talents. As her father's chosen heir, she has trained her whole life to become a warrior and lead her village. Fortunately, her long wait is almost over and after she passes her coming-of age trial, she'll finally be able to live on her own and not have to deal with her mother's constant rejection or the jealousy of her peers. Perhaps then she will be able to be both a warrior and a woman.

But when trial day arrives, everything goes terribly wrong. Her test is sabotaged, and by law all those who fail are banished and given an impossible quest to reclaim their honor in death. And Rasmira is given the most difficult quest of them all: She must kill the oppressive deity who claims tribute from her village every year or die in the attempt.

Welcome to my stop on the tour for Warrior of the Wild by Tricia Levenseller! Today I have a moodboard to share with you, but I also wanted to give you a very short recap about how I felt about the book! Because spoiler, it's awesome. 



Oh hi, this book is awesome. And frankly, I'd feel remiss if I didn't tell you so. Even though this isn't actually a review post, here's some reasons to read this book:


  • Badass main character who has to face a lot of inner demons and decide if she can/will change for the better. Unlearning bad lessons is never fun, even if you are a warrior.

  • Lots of friendship/family/romance along the way! The other characters are really well done, too.

  • Survival, ftw! I love me a good survivin' in the woods story.

  • Adventure is blended perfectly with character development.

  • I could not put this book down, basically. Easily one of the best books I have read so far this year.

(With a special shout out to Rashika for helping me search for the right stuff when I was frantically moving and googling "treehouses" at the same time.)



So, does this book sound awesome to you too? Do you love a survival story?
