My review: Bearskin by Jamie Robyn Wood

4 stars

This is a fairy tale. Comes with a Castle, princes, witches, magic good and bad. Also has plenty of drama, quests, romance and a clean read.  There is violence, and death and choices to make.

 The first part is a slow descriptions build up. I was not sure where the book would be heading. While I waited to see how it would all come out.  Some good characters, most of them I liked how they were changing and evolving. Lots of surprises along the way.

Conrad was the oldest son of the King. Blond hair.  He will be King someday.

Heppson is younger half brother to Conrad.  His mother is a witch.  She has bespelled the King.  His mother gave him a knife and told him to kill his brother.

Moiria is older half sister to Heppson. Her mother makes her do things.  She stays in the background watching.

Heppson knows he can't fight his mother's power.  He goes to Conrad and tells him what he is commanded to do.  He hopes Conrad will come up with a plan.  Heppson choses to run away and into the desert.

I really liked the last half of the book best.  Lots more action, dialog and characters that pop along the way that are half human and half animal.  Could not wait to see how it would all resolve along the way.

This is a good YA , fantasy, fairy tail story.

I was given Bearskin to read for free from Cedar Fort Publishing.  In return I agreed to give a honest review and be part of Bearskin Blog tour.
