Why read it?
1 author picked Walking the Tree as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Warren’s work is darker, more complex, and more compelling than most, and I loved this book to pieces. It’s a coming-of-age quest to circumnavigate a giant island which is also a monstrous tree, each tribe a segment of the orange, or an hour on the clock, to be discovered, savoured, and potentially escaped from, with the tree itself a constant, anchoring presence in the world. Get it! Read it!
From Thoraiya's list on fantasy novels about forests.
