I loved the movie this is a prequel to and I loved learning more about Doric this just fleshes her out more as a character. The characters were amazing especially Doric in this book we learn more about her insecurities about being what she is and how she was abandoned as a child for being different. She is a great character she cares deeply for those she cares about I really loved the friends and family she found with the wood elves also the druids she is strong yet insecure about a great many things in this story she overcomes so much. The plot was amazing it tells of Doric how she was found by the wood elves and found both family and friends there the story tells of her life before the wood elves and how she was abandoned and how she had to survive on her own. Many other things happen and she goes off to learn to master her druid powers where she finds out more about herself many things happen and she saves the area where the wood elves are and there is a happy ending loved it so much.
