The misguided faith (believing that Aesop’s Fables is a “second Bible”) was brought to light in an interesting way in this story. I guess I’ll see if I get a clearer picture of Ilsa’s locks on my second read of this beautiful and fun trilogy.
Considering she’s Scandinavian, my gut says she’s of a paler-haired variety… but then Alicia Vikander (actress) is also Scandinavian, and she’s dark-skinned and dark-haired. Maybe I misremembered this, but I thought Ilsa was said in book two to have “dark-blonde hair.” In this one, she is called a “dark-haired woman” and a “brunette.” Those are vastly different than being “dark-blonde.” I’m not sure which picture I’m supposed to believe, because they’re completely different mental images. Disorientation, double- and triple-vision, discombobulated thinking… Mrs. I especially enjoyed the fabulous description from his POV when he had a bad concussion. I had a love-hate relationship with him through the first two stories, but I love the journey toward redemption he tread in this one. I was thrilled when I realized Wax Mosby would be the leading fella in this book. Not once! I had looked forward to seeing her take out a bear or an elk or even a villain or two with her talent, but that never came to pass.
But she never got to use the skills she gained. Ursula taught herself to be a crack shot with her weapon of choice in the early scenes. One disappointment was that the hatchet angle was super anticlimactic. What a slam-bang finish! This whole trilogy was great, but Her Secret Song is definitely my favorite.
