Publisher : Emma Castle (August 20, 2020).Don’t let my review deter you! This book is highly praised by many readers. If you enjoy retellings and romance, this might be a good book for you.
I’ll still read other books by this author in the future because I did like her writing. For me this came down to believability and content issues and the insta-love that just didn’t feel right. I’m not going to bash this book because it wasn’t horrible. What pushed me to finish this story was that it’s part of my Reading Retelling Challenge for 2021. Skimming over the romance parts that were too cheesy was easy to do. I came close to tossing it, but I was able to finish it. This book didn’t exactly work out for me. The romance was too cheesy for me and cringey at times. It also seemed crazy the way he adapts to civilization so well and so quickly. He’s been isolated all these years in the jungle, raised amongst gorillas, but once he meets Eden bada bing! Perfect lover? It just seemed too far-fetched how fast these two fell in love. It was hard for me to accept Thorn the way the author portrayed him. – I had to suspend disbelief multiple times, and it made me question too much. It’s descriptive, thought-provoking, and even atmospheric at times. – The book is written well with good pacing. Thorn does save Eden’s life, which is similar to how Tarzan and Jane meet for the first time. In this version, Thorn is a very young child deserted after a plane crash. – The story doesn’t follow the original Tarzan narrative to a T. The book is written in two perspectives, so you get Thorn’s and Eden’s perspective alternately with quite a bit of Thorn’s history too.
The author prefaces the book writing about the importance of conservation and her love for gorillas. She soon discovers that this man has been living in the forest since he was a little boy. While the others are killed, Eden is saved by a mysterious man (Thorn) from the wild. Thorn is a young boy on an African trip with his mom and dad when their plane crashes, and he’s left to survive amongst gorillas. Fast forward 20 years…Eden Matthews is visiting the African jungle (Uganda) photographing wildlife when she and a handful of others are taken. Unfortunately, this one didn’t work out well for me.
Every now and then I like to read a romance to switch things up. I had high hopes for this book because I’ve never read a Tarzan retelling before.
