Twenty years ago, the powerful mage Atrix Wolfe unleashed an uncontrollable force that killed his beloved king. Now, the Queen of the Wood has offered him one last chance for redemption. She asks him to find her daughter, who vanished into the human world during the massacre he caused. No one has seen the princess-but deep in the kitchens of the Castle of Pelucir, there is a scullery maid who appeared out of nowhere one night long ago. She cannot speak and her eyes are full of sadness. But there are those who call her beautiful.Rating Containing Books The Book of Atrix Wolfe

I just finished reading this book for the second time. I remembered loving it the first time I read it because of the poetic writing style of the author. I love the images of castle life and the characters. It reads like a fairy tale including many moral messages which can be gathered if one would wish to think them through most especially the importance of atoning for bad deeds.The first half of the book is much more exciting than the second. In the second half, one might begin to get bored asOriginally reviewed here @ Angieville.It was my friends at Readerville who convinced me to give Patricia McKillip a try. This I remember very clearly. I'd never read any of McKillip's books, though I'd run across them plenty of times what with her books being shelved right next to Robin McKinley's on all the shelves ever. And then there was the matter of her covers. Somewhere along the line, they paired her up with Kinuko Craft and decided it was a match made in heaven. For the most part, I
Even when the story is in the "normal", human world it seems dreamlike and fairytale-ish and a high contrast to the sort of stories that I usually read. It seems drawn from an earlier tradition of fantasy and there were aspects that recalled The King of Elfland's Daughter most specifically, but also The Face in the Frost.McKillip produces powerful imagery, from the piles of luscious food continually produced by the ever-busy castle kitchen to the haunted tower to a definitely Elfland's Daughter

This is my first Patricia Mckillip novel and I was amazed by her writing. One of the most lyrical and elegantly written fantasy novels I've read. I would easily compare her to Ursula le Guin in terms of both depth of ideas and lyricism of writing. The Book of Atrix Wolfe centers around; a young magician and prince, whose country is haunted by a battle that took both the prince's father and mother; a child named Saro who no longer remembers her past; and a mage--Atrix Wolfe--who is haunted by
I liked this story better than some of the other Ms. McKillip ones. This is because I loved the wolf aspect to it. I've always liked wolves and this book, focused on a man, lost with wolves just did it for me. Expect to once again flow through the story with Ms. McKillip's signature lyrical prose.
Her books always take my to a strange wonderful place. Adult romance with great fantasy.
all the world's a kitchen! a great steamy kitchen, full of cooks and servers, pluckers and cutters, a head chef and a tray mistress, spit-boys and a pot scrubber. all the food that is birthed there! so many tasty treats and delicious dishes, made for the lords and ladies and assorted gentry, but enough that can be picked at, pecked at, pulled from the bottom of a pan, enough of those leftovers to feed the loudly bustling world that lives in the kitchen.a list of characters and events would make
