Interpretation Toward Books Mistwood (Mistwood #1)
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 Mistwood.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.

(3.5-4Stars)I really enjoyed this one!Mistwood is an exciting twist that combines high fantasy with Immortal Shifter lore, which made this fascinating and provided solid entertainment.I love my fantasy, but I don't think this is for everyone. While other books like Graceling and Brightly Woven are driven to grip you, the pace of this book is intentionally slow moving at first as we are made to learn with Isabel through her memories, which she has forgotten.The Plot is thick and rich with mysteryThe first thing you notice about this book is how similar in tone, mood, and characterization it is with another popular physically strong female character story - Graceling. But just like that book I had a very hard time connecting to the main character because they're so amped up in strength that it's pretty obvious and even stated many times that there is no danger of them ever losing to another opponent. She's so powerful that it's hard to root for her and she comes off more as the dreaded
MISTWOOD has been on my radar for close to a year now, if you can believe it. I've been monitoring its status updates on Amazon and GoodReads and checking Leah Cypess' site regularly for any news. There have been tantalizingly few details about this book floating around the verse. I knew it was YA fantasy. I knew it was about a girl who was a shifter. And I knew it took place in a kingdom in trouble. The back cover copy proclaims it:For fans of Kristin Cashore's Graceling and Fire, Tamora
She was just suppose to be a rumor because when she is need it means that the king will be or in trouble. Isabel is the shifter, her job was suppose to protect the royal family to be more exact, the king of Samorna or the future king. I was just like the other times when Prince Rokan and his brother Will rode across Mistwood to find her. He needed her superhuman powers, the power to shift into mist, animal form and wind. (I truly love the fact that she could change her hair and eyes color
What a fantastic book! This was so well done on all levels that I don't even have the words to express it. I loved all of the political maneuverings and intrigue. But the best part of all were the characters. They were flawed and imperfect, but so easy to fall in love with. The world that Cypess created was expertly drawn. The dialogue flowed and caught you by surprise with the ease that Cypess creates layered conversations. The twists and turns were many, but entirely believable once revealed.
I found this book to be dead boring and exactly why I hate fantasy books, generally. I read it less than a month ago and would be hard pressed to write a paragraph about it. Yawn.
This book was an unexpected surprise though a very welcome one. I had seen it on the shelves of my libraries for quite a while and had been resisting its siren call when suddenly, I thought, well, why not?I can understand that a lot of readers will have problems with the main character, the female protagonist but to me, it is the portrayal of the female character that wins me over entirely. I hadnt even realized that the story was going to be a historical one so when I turned the page and
