I love this series! Mari, Nik, and River are just a few of the great characters in this book and I cannot wait for the next book in the series. I NEED to know what happens to the Pack and Rivers Tribe!
I love the characters in this story series. I also love the holistic storyline and the connections with the animals. Plus the strong female leads make for a great read.

I’m really enjoying this series. Having only just read the first two books in this series so that I would be up to date for this release, all the details were fresh in my mind. Cast continues the story of Mari, Nik, their Pack and also their enemies, but along with their POV’s we are also introduced to the Wind Rider peoples, and in particular, one character, River.
I really enjoyed getting to know the Wind Riders and River and her Anjo, and of course I enjoyed the parts with The Pack. This was an excellent continuation of this story, with characters who continue to change and grow, learn to love, learn to accept and want to make a better life for themselves.
Death is also still on the hunt for them, and whilst I wanted to just get through his chapters because I can’t stand the character (which is the point), those chapters were still integral to the story, and I assume in the next novel will probably bring things together even more.
So many things happen in this book, one of my favourites being the changes to do with the companions. I am very curious to see how things play out there in the next book and I was also so happy when these parts of the story occurred.
Cast has created a world that I have become invested in, where I am rooting for The Pack and for the life they are so desperately chasing. There are so many layered characters and I truly cannot wait to see what happens next.
The Pack is all about love, acceptance and peace but BEWARE! Death is close at their heels!
In this 3rd installment of Tales of a New World the Pack is traveling to the plains of the Wind Riders. Their journey is fraught with danger as they travel through new lands, meet new communities, and race from Death. Each day brings them closer together, strengthens them and carries them closer to their goals.
Death is planning to follow and where he goes, so does destruction, decay, monsters and the deaths of so many and so much. There is a strength in Death’s camp that he is not aware of and it is rising to the occasion, collecting information and building an arsenal of her own in the hopes that she may come up with a plan to send Death back to his slumber.
Join in on this heart racing excursion and leap in to a book that teaches true love, acceptance and the strength of the Pack!
Less than an hour ago I finished reading Wind Rider, the third book in the Tales of A New World series and all I can think is: Wow! Just Wow!
Wind Rider is an unmissable journey in the Tales of A New World series.
A story of hope and survival, despair and determination and above all, strength – strength to accept change, to hold true to one’s convictions even in the face of utter despair and ultimately the strength to show compassion and kindness, to extend the hand of trust and forgive.
P.C. Cast has created a world that I am utterly in love with, full of wonderfully diverse characters and populated by strong female protagonists whose character captivate me more with every reading.
In this third book, readers will be introduced to the Herds of the Wind Riders that call the Plains home and if you’re anything like me – you’ll want to jump feet first into this book and live in this amazing world.
I adored every second of reading this book. From the first page until the last, I was held utterly enthralled. I enjoyed every second of the journey and I look forward to reading this book again and again.
This series is perfect for fans of Mercedes Lackey’s Heralds of Valdemar series – so if you’re looking for something similar I’d definitely suggest trying out that series or vice versa.
This book is highly recommended!
