Review of Ride The Wind
Ride The Wind by Jennie Dodd takes place in Western Australia. The family is invested in training and riding horses in competition. Michael and Rachael are the parents. Dakota and Chaney are the two daughters who compete, and they are accompanied by their two loyal Newfoundland dogs, Simba and Enzo. Dakota rides a beautiful white Andalusian named Galaxy, and Chaney rides a magnificent black Arabian named Star. The two girls are rambunctious and mischievous, Chaney more so than Dakota, and they find themselves in crazy predicaments.
Ride the Wind is a spellbinding fantasy that whisks the reader into a magical fairy kingdom. The narrative follows the two daring sisters on an exhilarating rescue mission, a journey that keeps you perched on the edge of your seat. I stayed up late into the night, unable to tear myself away from the book. It's a rare gem that can captivate a reader like that. This enchanting tale serves as a beacon of inspiration, urging readers to confront life's trials with bravery and to chase their aspirations with unwavering determination.
Ride The Wind is a treasure trove of elements that make a compelling story. Despite the occasional narrative jumps, the author's skillful storytelling ensures readers remain engrossed. The book is brimming with magic potions, witchcraft, fairies, talking animals, magnificent horses, a heartwarming wedding, and etchings. Surprisingly, I thoroughly enjoyed this one, even as someone who isn't typically drawn to fantasy tales. The story also imparts valuable lessons about following one's heart and the importance of being sensible and reliable.
This book is an immaculate but powerful story. It teaches valuable lessons about friendship, courage, and the beauty of nature. There is no profanity, only Australian slang. There are no sexual situations and very slight violence. I recommend this to anyone of all ages who likes a good book with a good outcome. The editing was very commendable, as I only found one grammatical error. There is also no religious interference to make you uncomfortable.
Because of the above accolades, I can only rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

Wow! Shirley Ann, it looks like you found a gem of a book. The story has so much in it. I would have been content with a nice story about these two girls and their horses. But there is magic, witchcraft, talking animals, and a heartwarming wedding to boot. The Australian backdrop must be fun too. I am adding this book to my bookshelves. Thanks for the thorough review. I can tell that you really enjoyed this story. Cheers!Shirley Ann Riddern Labzentis wrote: ↑24 Sep 2024, 20:22 [Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Ride The Wind" by Jennie Dodd.]
