"The Impossible Quest: Escape from Wolfhaven Castle" manages to be delightfully magical, darkly adventurous, deeply passionate, with a dash of whimsy, all at the same time.Īnd as for the ending. Kate Forsyth has even managed to give an elegant nod to the classics with beautifully chosen character names that are reminiscent of Arthurian legend. It is written in that sweeping epic style of Feist, Eddings, McCaffrey and Jordan that will keep adults happy but with the youthful exuberance of Rowling and Rodda which the kids will love. no she can't have mine I want to read it again!), but also adults will enjoy this. This story is meant for upper primary students, who I know would love this (my niece can be expecting her own copy for Christmas. I must admit I topped up the hot water a few times to keep on reading just one more chapter. I should know, because this reader read the whole thing in one bath sitting. Who is the wild man, how does he know what the are wolves saying, and why must Tom tell his Lord? Such action and curiosity lures the reader on and Kate Forsyth keeps the reader baited with masterful storytelling throughout the entire novel. "The wolves smell danger."įrom the opening lines the reader is thrown straight into the action. "Tell your lord to beware," the wild man said, gripping Tom's arm with a dirty hand. It's an obvious comment to make but it's true, "The Impossible Quest" is impossibly good.
