We see the story through the point of view of Dana, with only a few scenes showing something that Dana is not seeing.

Even the ones that look innocent and unimportant are hiding something. Then we have the wolves, that are more than just normal wolves. They stay away from the tower and only appear at night, but they have a special connection to one of the characters. There are some good plot twists and the mystery will leave the reader wanting to keep on reading until the end. Hay buenos giros inesperados y el misterio deja al lector queriendo continuar leyendo hasta el final. This is the first novel I've ever read in Spanish, so this was somewhat of a personal challenge.

I'm glad to say that I read all of its pages and that doesn't include the pages in my dictionary in less than a week.

It just might be back on speaking terms with Spanish. Anyway I am very eager to read the rest of the trilogy as well as the prequel. Everyone knew that Dana was different though they all treated her the same as everyone else. She never played much with others, spending most of h This is the first novel I've ever read in Spanish, so this was somewhat of a personal challenge.

She never played much with others, spending most of her time on her own One day, a wizard of the first order comes to take her away from her family and farmer's life to have her attend the famous school of witchcraft of The Tower.

Dana's world changes forever a she begins to understand just how special she is and that things aren't always what they seem. A traditional children's fantasy book the likes of many and yet a very entertaining read all the way through. The main plot and various subplots as well the general pace of the book could easily have made it a young adult novel.

The writing however makes it pretty clear that it is a book aimed at a younger audience The vocabulary is purposefully limited and pretty accessible. Nevertheless, the trilogy is a bestseller in Spain and as far as I know, it's been translated in French and English. It's a wonderful and touching fantasy tale which will not fail to delight young readers. While the book's premises are typical of traditional fantasy wizards, unicorns, elves, dwarfs, etc.

Recommended for young readers. Jul 26, Jennifer rated it liked it. Dana is a quiet girl who spends all of her time with her friend Kai, a boy her age who can't be seen by anyone but Dana.

At a young age, Dana is taken away by a strange man with the consent of her parents. The man promises to keep her safe and feed her, which is more than her parents are able to guarantee. They travel for several days to the man's residence -- a lonely tower -- where the only other souls around are a dwarf who does the cooking and an elf, who is the only other student.

Dana is able to bring Kai with her, thanks to the magician, but many questions remain. Who is Kai, and more importantly, what is he? Why is Dana the only one who is able to see or hear him? Who is the magician and why are there so few students at the school? These unanswered questions keep the reader interested throughout the story, but I was disappointed by the lack of detail.

Some might argue that most fantasy tales are too detail oriented, describing every mythological creature and magical item with thousands of words. That was not the case in The Valley of the Wolves. There is just enough detail to move the story along, but no more. There's very little description of the years of study between when Dana arrives as a little girl, and when most of the action takes place when she is It's almost as if the first few chapters are simply a very long introduction, and the real story begins halfway through.

All in all, this was an interesting story that I would recommend to readers in grade 5 and up who just can't get enough fantasy. Jun 25, Eskana rated it really liked it Shelves: solid-fantasy.

So, I originally read this book nine years ago, and although I couldn't remember much about it, I remembered it being good and some of the characters. So, I thought, definitely something to re-read. And I'm very glad I did! It centers on Dana, a young girl living on a grange who becomes the apprentice of a magus in the far-off Tower of the Valley of the Wolves. Dana is an alright character- quiet, independent, a little alone- but So, I originally read this book nine years ago, and although I couldn't remember much about it, I remembered it being good and some of the characters.

Dana is an alright character- quiet, independent, a little alone- but I found her friend Kai to be one of the most memorable part of the book.

This book has a lot of mystery in it, and Kai is one of them; he is Dana's best friend, who she's known almost her whole life, and yet, for some reason, no one else can see or hear him. Dana and Kai's relationship is easily one of the most fascinating parts of the book, and its growth throughout the story, along with Kai's mystery, is really cool to read. The mystery of the book, tangled as it is with magic, is very compelling, and told easily and quickly enough to keep a reader going the author's writing style is easy to read, not high fantasy but well written.

The book starts with Dana's birth, but the author often jumps years between chapters, so that by the time the book is finished, she is sixteen. I think this helped skip the boring parts of learning spells and focus on the mystery, while also showing that neither magic nor mysteries are easy things to master. I can't say too much without giving away important plot points, but this book is definitely enjoyable, and definitely a recommended read.
