Wildwood Imperium

Wildwood Imperium by Colin Meloy, 580 pages


Prue is trying to reunite Ebsen and Carol so that they can build a cog to revive Alexei, the son of the Dowager Governess.  The Council Tree has told her it is necessary to save Wildwood.  She has been traveling with Ebsen, searching for Carol.  Several other groups of people are also working to save Wildwood.  Colin has been trying to keep the group of Bandits alive, or at least their legend.  Unbeknownst to him, the bandits have been serving the Synod, unwillingly.  The Unadoptables, including Colin’s sisters, Rachel and Elsie, have been trying to survive, but, having met Nico, part of a group who is trying to take down the Quartet, they join the fight, and also end up trying to save the Wildwood.  Meanwhile, a young girl, Zita, is helping the Verdant Empress, which could spell disaster for the Wildwood and all of its inhabitants.  This is the third book in the Wildwood series and I would definitely recommend reading them in order.  A lot of what happens in this book won’t make a lot of sense unless you’ve read the first two books.  Give this to kids who love fantasy and are undaunted by long books.
