ATENÇÃO!!! após a leitura "A Magia da Raposa" pode tornar-se seu livro favorito.
O livro conta a história de Isla, uma filhote de raposa incrível e carismática que se vê obrigada a procurar a sua família que simplesmente desapareceu sem deixar rastros. E, para completar existe um grupo de raposas caçando ela e o seu irmão.
Sou completamente apaixonada por fantasia, mas foi a primeira vez que li um livro onde os personagens são animais. Estou impressionada em como eu gostei desse subgênero.
A história se passa na Terracinza, nossa cidade, e é muito divertido ver as descrições da Isla com nomes surpreendentes para coisas comuns que usamos no dia-a-dia. Esmagadores são os carros, canal da morte é a rua! no final do livro tem um glossário que explica todos esses termos e até isso é escrito de forma boa.
Ou seja, A Magia da Raposa é um livro perfeito, com bom desenvolvimento e uma mensagem linda, até pode ser infanto juvenil mas nada te impede de ser um adulto e mesmo assim se apaixonar pela história.
*** spoilers daqui pra frente ***
O desenvolvimento dos personagens é incrível, Isla é uma filhote ingênua e inocente no início e ao decorrer da história vemos a transformação dela. Ela se mantém esperançosa por boa parte do livro, e mesmo eu achando desde o início que a família dela estava morta, lá para o meio eu comecei a duvidar por conta da esperança dela. O lobo é um dos meus favoritos, ele todo soberbo e superior falando que gostava de comer raposas e se fosse solto iria fazer isso, e mesmo assim ele teve honra para não realizar tal coisa — pelo menos não com a Isla — eu amei.
A forma como a liberdade foi tratada no livro foi o ponto responsável por essas 5 estrelas, a maioria das frases que eu salvei se dizia respeito a isso. Os "vilões" da história são descritos como raposas que não tem mais liberdade. Eu amei, amei, amei e amei.
A forma como os sonhos foram tratados também me conquistou muito, a história do pai dela que sonhou com a futura esposa, a forma como a Isla sonhou com a sem-pelo de asas e posteriormente com o irmão.
Adorei o desfecho, me deixou curiosa para o próximo sem ser naquela agonia.

Dieses Buch ist wirklich klasse..!
Es geht um die junge Füchsin Isla, die am Anfang der Geschichte von ihrer Familie getrennt wird und auf der Suche nach ihnen durch die Stadt streift, verfolgt von einer Fuchsmeute.... und sie weiß nicht warum.
Warum haben die ihren Bau angezündet und wie findet sie ihre Familie die auf einmal vom Erdboden verschluckt ist....
Sie trifft auf Siffrin, der eigentlich ihren Bruder sucht und erfährt durch ihn über die Füchse außerhalb der Stadt und von der uralten Fuchsmagie, die die auch Isla inne wohnt.
Eine sehr schöne Geschichte, die mich von Anfang an mitgenommen hat. Man kann sich sofort in Isla hineinversetzen und leidet mit ihr. Besonders toll fand ich den Erzählstil. Es wird aus der Perspektive von Isla erzählt und es gibt ein Fuchsvokabular. Die Stadt heißt das große Knurren, die Straße Todesweg oder so... Und Siffrin hat für einige Dinge andere Begriffe, was sehr authentisch rüberkam schließlich kommt er aus dem Wildland, das außerhalb der Stadt liegt.
Also ich finde keinen Grund hier Punkte abzuziehen und freue mich schon auf den nächsten Band

This is a great start to what I'm sure will be a fabulous series; I really started to care about the characters & felt sick whenever they were in danger. I also really liked the descriptions of the human world from the foxes's perspectives & loved the introduction into the world of Foxcraft. The writing was also really great & super engaging. This is a brilliant story for middle graders, teens & adults alike.
I was sent a copy of this book by the publisher in return for an honest review.
Content Warning: mild fight scenes between animals & descriptions of death.
Extended Review to follow.

After the disappointment that were Wolves of the beyond I was pleasently surprised by this book.
I loved the protagonist - Isla. She gets things done, she makes mistakes and she is naive - she is far away from Mary Sue that a lot of main characters for kids seem to be. The story was surprisingly dark and intense too- I don't usually like the books that are written from the POV of the main character but I really enjoyed this one. The first opening scene is really intense and it really sets up the tone for the story. Granted it's just her brother playfully chasing her but the way it's written you feel like you are running away from an enemy that is trying to hurt you. I also really, really liked the scene where Isla is captured by snatchers and put in a cage and she has to escape before she gets put down - that was really intense and it kept me on the edge even though I knew she was going to make it out alive, I just didn't know how.
The only things I didn't really like was the mentor refusing to explain things to pupil because someone above said so trope and then them being left behind trope - it felt rehashed somehow and it almost made me dislike Sifrin even though he seems like such an interesting character with dark and mysterious past.
The other thing that really annoyed me was the way Karka died- after they built her up as the villain through the entire book I expected a showdown between her and Isla, especially because Isla trained and learned al this magic or foxcraft by the end of the book but instead we get Karka and her skulk attacking Isla, she is overwhelmed, I was half expecting her to lose or something - but instead of having this epic showdown between the villain and the good guy we get... plot convenience. Isla rescued this huge wolf from the zoo towards the end of the book and he repays her by snapping Karka's neck- it felt underwhelming and I hope that the other villains aren't defeated like that. I also didn't like the way Tarr was handled- I kind of expected him to play a bigger role but he says that he knows Sifrin, he says some important things that make Isla distrust Sifrin, then he gets captured by snatchers and put down not long after. His story just felt unfinished.
