I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick read but the main characters all had significant growth. They learned more about themselves and grew more confident in their abilities. And I liked at the end how Raz stood up to her parents and told them what she thought instead of blindly doing what they wanted. There is a mild romance but nothing crazy happens (just random making out).

Warrior of the Wild by Tricia Levenseller is a really great story with great characters, plot, and a dymanic story that never gets boring.

Our readers are familiar with Tricia Levenseller and her book Daughter of the Pirate King and how intense the story was in the book. In Warrior of the Wild this was intense and multiply that by 100. The story was so invigoratingly fascinating that I could not stop reading it to see if Rasmira will win back her honor and her father's heart. As I was reading this, my mind immediately went to Thor. Rasmira resembles Thor a little bit but more intense and female. Young readers of all ages eyes will be glued to the story wanting to see what will happen.

Thank you Netgalley and Macmillan Children's Publishing Group for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. We will definitely consider adding this title to our YFiction collection at the library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

This book had me hooked from the start, and I couldn't put it down! It was a faced-paced, fun read with great storytelling. In the book, Rasmira is an 18 year old viking warrior who is next in line to rule her village. However, she is betrayed during her warrior trial and is banished to the wild and given an impossible task: kill the god that preys on her village and the neighboring villages. Rasmira is a great protagonist- she's fierce and brave, but she isn't perfect- she has her faults. Throughout the novel Rasmira matures and learns some important lessons about how to be a good and effective leader. My only issue with this book is that it was so short and I wanted more story! I feel like the author could have fleshed out some areas and I wanted to learn more about some of the side characters. I'm definitely going to go back now and read Levenseller's other books!

I recommend Warrior in the Wild for middle to high schoolers. I would have really enjoyed reading this myself as a teenager - so many moons ago now ;). Although the dialogue is a little corny at times, the story moves along at a fast clip which holds your attention. I liked the not so subtle pointers about being a good leader and woman warrior!

This was such a great quick read. I couldn't put it down and knocked it out in 2 days!
I loved Tricia's other books and this one is just as good. Kick butt female, a viking like setting, a touch of romance, and an unkillable God that needs to be killed so our main character can go home was the perfect recipe. I loved all the tricks and I guess you can say science that go along with fighting the God. So clever!
I would definitely recommend this read to my teens !

This is a good example of a character driven story with bits of events to keep things moving at a good pace.

Rasmira lost everything she thought she knew in one brutal blow. Unfairly banished from her village and tasked with killing Peruxolo - a god, Rasmira sets out to do the impossible. While fierce and strong willed, Rasmira has warranted trust issues, but she must put those aside to forge new friendships, survive in the wild, kill the god, and earn her right to return home.

This viking inspired standalone has a little bit of everything - a story driven plot, family dynamics both good & bad, a betrayal very early in that will honestly cause you to do a double take (it literally slaps you in the face!), monsters, diversity, a reluctant, but sweet main romance, and enough action to swing an ax at!

While I personally enjoyed Tricia's Daughter of the Pirate King series better, this was still really enjoyable and will easily fit onto your YA Fantasy shelf!

I read Daughter of a Pirate Queen and Daughter of the Siren Queen by Tricia Levenseller and absolutely adored them. They were some of my favorite books of all time. I have had Warrior of the Wild on my TBR since the moment I saw it. So you can imagine my excitement when I received an ARC through Netgalley.

This book was awesome. It was full of excitement, action, slow burn, betrayal, and a female warrior. The pace was perfect for me. There were no long drawn out scenes. The major events had just enough build in between without making me long for it to just get to the point.

After finishing this book I am left feeling like a really good ride at a theme park.. (random I know..) It’s torture to stand in line for hours seemingly waiting forever just to ride a ride for what feels like seconds. I am anxiously awaiting the next book by this author and I am sure I will devour it in seconds too. Tricia is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors!!

I liked this book - it was cute! Yes, I said cute when describing a viking-warrior princess book but that is the feel I got from it!

I enjoyed this quick read and thought it had great character development. I LOVED Daughter of Pirate King series so I had super high expectations for this book. It kinda met those but kinda didn't. It wasn't AS good as the Daughter of the Pirate King BUT, it was GOOD on a whole different level. I loved Rasmina's strength, she is super hard headed and I totally get that. She really holds her self back and calms her temper in the "revenge department" and I respect that because I can't say that I would do the same. Her relationship with Iric and Soren makes me super happy - I loved watching it grow.

A good revenge book for sure!
