On her birthday, Zaria Fierce finds her usual path to school blocked by an ugly river-troll. At first she’s surprised and curious, but then Olaf threatens to eat her, which is an act Zaria could not in good conscience consent to, so Zaria counteroffers. A deal is struck and she goes to school, but Zaria is about to learn the hard way that one does not trick a river-troll and expect to win.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Adventure By A New Author

A fun adventure by a new author. Designed for teenagers but can be enjoyed by all, The genre is similar to novels like The Hobbit, The Chronicles of Narnia Keira and early Harry Potter entries. Gillet, nails it on the first try and brings the characters to life. I look forward to the later books and appreciate the chance to experience this first entry into Zaria's world with her ragged band of friends keeping the world a little bit safer and brighter for all of us.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great read by a new author

Zaria Fierce is an aptly named girl who I'm hoping to get to know better! Ms. Gillett is a good story teller with an amazing imagination. The Secret Of The Gloomwood Forrest is a well written modern day Fairytale with trolls, half elves and dragon-like creatures called Winter Wyverns; we discover that some are friends and some are foes as we turn (swipe) the page!

I sense that more is to come from Zaria and her friends. This book should delight kids big and small.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2015

I loved this book! It's a fairy tale, but better. Zaria is real: smart, determined, compassionate, adventurous. I found the story intriguing and I really can't wait to read the next book in the trilogy. The author is an artist and she brings artistry to her prose. In clear, simple lines, she connects you with the characters and creatures--draws you in.

The message of fairy tales is an important one for kids: that good triumphs over evil. This is a book kids will enjoy as they follow Zaria in her quest to use her smarts to "get it right" and to be a true friend.

This book is full of action and adventure right from the beginning. It is a perfect book for anyone with a creative imagination. The story lines are well written. The illustrations are incredible. This is a story for all ages. It’s not difficult reading. This is the kind of book when it’s bedtime, you don’t want to put it down and go to sleep. You just want to keep reading. I can picture this story becoming a trilogy and one day a major film. I am looking forward to the release of the next book.

Bought this book for my 12 year old grandson. Since he likes Harry Potter I thought he would enjoy this. I gave it to him on a Tuesday afternoon and when I saw he again on Thursday afternoon he was almost finished with it. I asked him what he thought of it and I got a very enthusiastic "It's Awesome! I can't wait to read the 2nd book." Well there you have it, you can't argue with results! I guess grandpa did good.

I'm glad I read this book. I am not an expert in young adult fiction, but I thought it was an easy read (in a good way), with excellent descriptions — as I think back now, I can envision some of the “battle” scenes vividly because of how they were articulated. The author has created an interesting fictional realm with engimatic villains and likable heroes. I'm looking forward to part 2!
