I liked Wilde’s Army by
Krystal Wade just as much as the first of its series, Wilde’s Fire.
Kate Wilde
has just been visited by two gods- one Light, the other Dark. Upon waking from
these “visions,” she discovers that everyone from her new home has been taken
away by daemons; all except for Perth, the Ground Dweller that Kate was sworn
to marry in return for a favor. No one seems to trust Perth, but the Light god
told Kate to trust those around her, so she really has no choice. Once finding
her friends, she and Arland must lead their people to Willow Falls where they
are thrust into court life under a complicated ruse: Kate must pretend to be in
love with Perth and act as if she has every plan to marry him, while her sister,
Brit, appears to be in love with Arland. Keeping up their fragile ruse proves
difficult, but nothing will be more difficult than what lies ahead.
First
things first: the characters. I thought that Kate was pretty strong and her
magic was really cool. I mean, she has tiny sprites to do her bidding; they
even dress her so she doesn’t have to do it herself! How awesome would that be?
PRETTY DARN AWESOME, I TELL YOU. However, she thought about love a little too
much. As a matter of fact, the word “love” was mentioned way too many times in
this book, but eventually it didn’t bother me so much. I think I became immune
to it. Kate also had some serious trust issues and got angry for small reasons
(well, I saw them as small, but that may be because I don’t really get mad
ever).
As in the
last book, I still thought of Arland as a pleasant, likable guy. He was really
understanding and never got mad at Kate, no matter what she did. He was also
strong and he really loved Kate, but as I said before, he talked about it a
little too much. I feel like he was a little too open for being a guy, but I
still liked him.
Now for
Perth. Oh, Perth. I absolutely LOVED Perth. I have no idea why. I just really
liked him. He was really underestimated, but he pulled through in the end and
ended up being a really great guy, even though everyone claimed that he was so
evil and not to be trusted. I felt so bad
for him because all he wanted was someone to love him, but people were
constantly talking about how much they didn’t want Perth, but he was actually
awesome.
PLOT! I
thought that the plot was entertaining. I liked the part where Kate had to
pretend to be in love with Perth the best, but at the same time I didn’t like
that part because I felt really bad for Perth… Anyway, there was a lot of
action and magic-wielding and such. There were also a few surprises thrown in
there, but there were other things that
I did see coming. Overall, I liked this book!
This book was pretty good! 3 1/2 Smileys!
