Review: Foxfire, Wolfskin and Other Stories of Shape-Shifting Women

Foxfire, Wolfskin and Other Stories of Shape-Shifting Women by Sharon Blackie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a collection of short stories with a theme of strong women, all based on myths and legends from countries around the world.

But, it’s not that simple…..there is magic, heartbreak, love, fear and power. It is beautifully written and really touches a nerve at times and will make you laugh and cry.

For me, Last Man Standing is heartbreaking, and will make you cry for the old man. For the world we are destroying, but it has love at its core.

Wolfskin, shows the cruelty of some men, and their comeuppance.

Foxfire, is just stunning, the descriptions of the woods and the amber fox are just so clear, you can almost feel the silence of the forest.

This is just three tales, but there are many more intense and powerful stories, each with a lovely, simple illustration too.

I have fallen in love with this book and will be encouraging everyone to read it…..there will be at least one story that touches your soul.

Thank you to Anne Cater and Random Things Tours for the opportunity to participate in this blog tour and for the promotional materials and a free copy of the book. This is my honest, unbiased review.
