Review: Mistwood by Leah Cypess

Instead of trying to explain the plot of this book myself, I'm just gonna give you what Goodreads told me this book was about.

"The Shifter is an immortal creature bound by an ancient spell to protect the kings of Samorna. When the realm is peaceful, she retreats to the Mistwod.

But when she is needed she always comes.

Isabel remembers nothing. Nothing before the prince rode into her forest to take her back to the castle. Nothing about who she is supposed to be, or the powers she is supposed to have.

Prince Rokan needs Isabel to be his Shifter. He needs her ability to shift to animal form, to wind, to mist. He needs her lethal speed and superhuman strength. And he needs her loyalty—because without it, she may be his greatest threat.

Isabel knows that her prince is lying to her, but she can't help wanting to protect him from the dangers and intrigues of the court . . . until a deadly truth shatters the bond between them.

Now Isabel faces a choice that threatens her loyalty, her heart . . . and everything she thought she knew."


Sounds cool right? That's what I thought too. It was pretty cool, except that Isabel is unable to shift into anything other than her human form and the main reason I wanted to read this book was to see some awesome shapeshifting action! That didn't happen. The ending was also slightly disappointing because it was openended and when I checked on a sequel, I saw that it isn't even related to the first book! What is happening?! The whole plot was also pretty slow moving and seemed to create a circular pattern and by the end of the book, I knew what was going to happen.

This was not a book I would highly recommend, but if you want to try it, go ahead.  I won't judge.
