Wind Daughter - Joanna Ruth Meyer (Echo North #2)

In the dark, cold reaches of the north lives a storyteller and his daughter. He told his daughter, Satu, many stories--romances like the girl who loved a star and changed herself into a nightingale so she could always see him shining--but the most important story he told her was his own. This storyteller was once the formidable North Wind, but he lost his power by trading it away in exchange for mortality--he loved her mother too much to live without her. The loss of his magic impacted more than just their family, however, and now the world is unraveling in the wake of this imbalance. To save the North, Satu embarks on a perilous journey to reclaim her father's magic, but she isn't the only one searching for it. In the snow-laden mountains, she finds herself in a deadly race with the Winter Lord who wants the North Wind's destructive powers for himself. Satu has the chance to be the heroine of her own fairy tale, only this one has an ending she never could have imagined.

Blog Tour + #Review + Favorite Quotes: WIND DAUGHTER by Joanna Ruth Meyer! #tbrbeyondtours

Welcome to Book-Keeping and my stop on the TBR and Beyond Tours blog tour for Wind Daughter by Joanna Ruth Meyer, which releases today! There’s also a Bookstagram tour happening, for which you can find the schedule and links here; my post will be up today at my Instagram page. I’ve got all the details below along with my review and list of favorite quotes, so let’s get started!

About the Book

title: Wind Daughter (Echo North #2) author: Joanna Ruth Meyer publisher: Page Street Kids release date: 12 July 2022

A hauntingly beautiful fairy tale about love and loss, this Echo North companion novel is perfect for fans of the Winternight Trilogy.

In the dark, cold reaches of the north lives a storyteller and his daughter. He told his daughter, Satu, many stories–romances like the girl who loved a star and changed herself into a nightingale so she could always see him shining–but the most important story he told her was his own. This storyteller was once the formidable North Wind, but he lost his power by trading it away in exchange for mortality–he loved her mother too much to live without her. The loss of his magic impacted more than just their family, however, and now the world is unraveling in the wake of this imbalance.

To save the North, Satu embarks on a perilous journey to reclaim her father’s magic, but she isn’t the only one searching for it. In the snow-laden mountains, she finds herself in a deadly race with the Winter Lord who wants the North Wind’s destructive powers for himself.

Satu has the chance to be the heroine of her own fairy tale, only this one has an ending she never could have imagined.

About the Author

Joanna Ruth Meyer is the author of Echo North, Into the Heartless Wood, Beneath the Haunting Sea, and Beyond the Shadowed Earth. She writes stories about fierce teens finding their place in the world, fighting to change their fate, save the ones they love, or carve out a path to redemption.

Joanna lives with her dear husband and son, a rascally feline, and an enormous grand piano named Prince Imrahil in Mesa, Arizona. As often as she can, she escapes the desert heat and heads north to the mountains, where the woods are always waiting.

My 5-Star Review

In 2020, despite owning all of her already released books and pre-ordering all forthcoming ones, I finally read Joanna Ruth Meyer for the first time when I participated in a tour for Beyond the Shadowed Earth (you can read my review here). Because I have a compulsion to read whichever book was written first, even if they are companion novels and it’s not absolutely necessary, I started with Beneath the Haunting Sea and then moved to Beyond. I absolutely loved both of those books, so I couldn’t wait for Wind Daughter to be released so I could read Echo North and then Wind Daughter back to back. Needless to say, I jumped at the chance to participate in this tour!

There is just something special about Joanna’s writing that evokes a sense of comfort and nostalgia and...I don’t quite know how to put it, but “oldness” is what comes to mind. She definitely has a way of writing that evokes old-fashioned fairy tales, a sort of gentle, soft, lyrical manner of laying out the story. It’s really hard to explain, but I hope that kind of makes sense. That’s not to say the characters don’t go through some really tough times! They absolutely do; but like with old fairy tales, that’s where their strength and courage end up coming from.

You don’t have to read Echo North before reading Wind Daughter, as Joanna does summarize the story of Echo at the beginning of Wind. In Echo we met Ivan, the former North Wind, who gave up his power to be with his mortal wife and their little baby, Satu. Ivan helps Echo on the most important part of her journey, heading north to the Wolf Queen’s domain. Wind Daughter occurs some years later, when Satu is just past her 17th birthday and is, needless to say, Satu’s story. Satu is depicted as an empath, I think, being able to feel the emotions of those around her, which incapacitates her at times (she spends a lot of the story crying!). She also stays alone with her parents at the top of their mountain, very rarely going down to the village; when she is around other people, she has what I think are anxiety or panic attacks, which she doesn’t know how to handle. Needless to say, at times she is very lonely, and I really felt for her in her anxiety at being around other people.

I’m not going to get into the plot here, but suffice it to say that just like Echo, Satu must travel long and far on her quest in order to save the world--and herself. I absolutely loved the Winter Lord, the Jokull, even though he was decidedly not a nice guy! I definitely questioned some of Satu’s choices, but you have to keep remembering how naive and empathic she is. I hope that you’ll pick this up and follow along on Satu’s journey. Will she save the world? Will she save the boy she loves? Will she figure out who she is and come into her full power? You have to read Wind Daughter to find out!

Rating: 5 stars!

**Disclosure: I received an early e-copy of this book from the publisher for purposes of this blog tour. This review is voluntary on my part and reflects my honest rating and review of the book.

My Top 10 Favorite Quotes

Below I’ve compiled some of my favorite quotes from Wind Daughter. I’m posting them without context so I don’t give away any of the story! (Please note that the locations refer to the end of the quote in the e-ARC of the book, so they may change in the final version.)

“I found I didn’t want to be their story. I wanted to be mine.”--Satu (loc. 212)

“All stories matter. There isn’t one that’s not important.”--Echo (loc. 275)

“Emotion leaks out of me in salt water, no matter what kind it is--if I’m happy or sad, pensive or wistful, I cry. The only way to stop it is to shove my feelings deep down, frost them over with layers of ice. Hope the ice doesn’t crack.”--Satu (loc. 461)

“You don’t want to be told what you are or are not,” Fann says. “You want to simply be.” (loc. 771)

“You’re not going to say I’m being stupid and too sensitive and need to get over it?” [Satu asks.] “Why would I do that? Your mind behaves how your mind behaves--that doesn’t make you broken.”--Inna (loc. 895)

“Change doesn’t always have to be bad. It’s just--change. It’s life. It’s living.”--Fann (loc. 1596)

“We are all stories, Fann. Every one of us. That doesn’t mean we’re not real.”--Satu (loc. 1746)

“The journey is always ahead, I think, the path always changing. It takes you to places you don’t expect, don’t think you’re ready for. But it has a way of shaping you, preparing you, so you are ready, when you get there.”--Echo (loc. 1906)

“Such a small word, love. And yet it is the oldest power in the universe. It is what the world is made of. It pulses and stretches inside of me, warm and strong and good.”--Satu (loc. 3192)

“And for [my son], my ever-growing Bear--thank you for (sometimes!) napping, for always giving me the best hugs, and for telling me sternly to “go work” whenever your Oma comes to hang out with you. Don’t be in any hurry to grow up, okay?”--author Joanna Ruth Meyer, in the acknowledgements (loc. 3716)**

**This last quote is actually from the author’s note. I include it because, as the mom of a son who just turned 14, reading these words brought tears to my eyes. The time goes so fast--treasure every moment with the ones you love. That’s what fairy tales teach us, after all, isn’t it?

Thanks for reading! Don’t forget to check out my Bookstagram post as well!

Does your UI feel bad about the whole Pebbles business?

And do you think Saint knows who SoS was?

She feels absolutely awful about it! She realizes she wasn't at fault for what happened, but she did make it worse for everyone involved. And so uh she's quite scared.

As for your second question..

yes saint does!! <3

Hello! I am a big fan of your books (especially Miss Sharp and Miss Dark), and I'm SUPER excited for the upcoming book signing. On that topic, I have a question. I know that, for at least some of the authors, we can't buy books day-of; we have to preorder or special order them. Is that true for all the authors? Or will some of y'all have books available to buy the day of the event? And, if there is a difference, do you happen to know who will have books available for day-of purchase and who won't? (I know W.R. Gingell has said she won't, but I'm uncertain about you and the other authors.)

(Oh, and a side note — this event is what convinced me to finally read Echo North, and it is SO GOOD, so THANK YOU.)

Thank you for your help! <3

Hey!!! I'm so excited you'll be coming! And so thrilled you're enjoying ECHO NORTH! So, for the 11 June book signing in Columbus, OH (details here) the Polaris Fashion Center B&N will be stocking one title per author EXCEPT for W.R. Gingell. The titles are: RJ Anderson: SWIFT Rosamund Hodge: CRUEL BEAUTY Joanna Ruth Meyer: INTO THE HEARTLESS WOOD Suzannah Rowntree: DARK CLOUDS IF you would like to buy other titles by any of these authors (we all have lots available!) OR any of WR Gingell's books, then please do call the B&N on (614) 854-0339 to order the books in! That way you can pick up your order on the day AND get it signed =)

Me while in my mind: Dang it be really cool if the chain went to Wild's world to the Rito village and the moment Wind showed he had control over the Wind. The Rito would freak out in excitement because they partially have an old legend that is also shared with the Korok about a hero with mastery over the sky. That some of their forefathers and mothers had helped on his adventure and they still honor him by their music, clothing, and architecture.

With Wind just shocked because he was just a good friend to the Rito and adored them and their kindness.

#linkeduniverse #lu #linked universe #linkeduniverse wind #lu wind #linked universe wind #okay but have you looked at the rito in totk and botw?#have you seen their art?#or the fact you have to direct the daughters in song?#im just saying the timelines might have mergened into on but the Rito never forgot their first Champion
