The Goblin Wood
37 pages
Makenna was thrown up on the horse and Tobin got on behind her. Tobin wanted to get to the road so he could take Makenna to Master Lazur. The goblins give up and threw stones at Tobin never hitting Makenna. Tobin fell off the horse and Makenna almost got free. Tobin regained control and but the horse ran off into the darkness. So they continued on foot and followed the trails to a stream. Tobin figured that he was being pixie-led by the goblins. The tracks ended in a clearing that was surrounded by brushes. Fire was all around him and he got hit with a stone in the head. Makenna and the goblins tied him up and were trying to trade his horse. Makenna ended up not trading the horse and Tobin was so thankful. He told her the horse's real name and thanked her.He shut his and fell asleep.

52 pages
Erebus goes to get more information from Tobin. He sits up on a rock where he usually does and is caught in the trap of the knight. Erebus almost got away but Tobin was faster. He knew that there was others watching and told them to send the sorceress with all his stuff unarmed. Mekenna was busy watching a new settlement of people. She observed them closely and figured out that seven of them were powerful priests. The rest were soldiers and servants. Cogswhallop goes to Mekenna with the news of Erebus getting caught. They hurried back to get the stuff and Mekenna went to the knight's camp. When she got there the knight figured out that she didn't have the charm with her because she was too close to the goblin and it wasn't affected. Mekenna went and got it from the brush where she hid it. Now she had to go to her second plan. The knight told her to put it on a rock and go by the firepit. The knight went for the charm and Mekenna snatched Erebus and let him run free. Mekenna expected a sword coming at her but instead there was a net over her. The net was draining her magic and powers. She couldn't get untangled and the knight was holding her. She was caught!

The Goblin Wood
35 pages
Finally the two separate plots come together in Chapter 8. The knight that crossed the wall was Tobin. He was coming to take on the sorceress which was Mekenna. He promised his brother that he would beat her. I'm really starting to get into the book and want to finish the book. One of the goblins, Erebus, was caught by Tobin and I can't wait to find out what Tobin is going to do and how Mekenna is going to react to this. I think that they will become friends and Tobin will help Mekenna keep the wood for the goblins. Tobin hesitated to use his knife on Erebus therefore i don't he will hurt any goblins. I hope that my predictions are true.

The book gets confusing now. It goes from the plot with Tobin back to the plot of Makenna the hedgewitch. I am hoping that the two plots will collide near the end. It would be weird if the book had two intertwined plots that didn't connect to each other.
Mekenna and Cogswhallop start out by burning someones house down and taking the animals from the barn. The husband wife fled with only some blankets and a pot in their hands. Makenna and Cogswhallop are searching for traps around the house. They burnt down the house because a goblin was killed by one of these traps set by the people who lived there. One of the goblins informed Mekenna that there was a bounty hunter coming to the wall. The wall separates the goblin wood from the humans land. There is magic in the wall that prevents from goblins from crossing the wall. Anyways, Mekenna went to the wall to warn the stranger found out that he was actually a knight not a bounty hunter. She scared the horses and the knight ran after them. Mekenna thought he would be back so they made a plan to take his food and clothes sending him home scared without anything.

They owned a general store and it was the meeting place for the men. Joe made Janie wear her a up because it was so beautiful and didn't want other guys looking at her. This was the way the Joe was in control of Janie. After almost twenty years being together Joe was old and died. Janie let her hair down, this represented her
freedom from Joe. Soon after she met Tea Cake and fell in love. They decided to leave Eatonville to start a new life. They go to the everglades and get a place. Tea Cake beats Janie to be the one that is in control of the relationship. Time went on then a hurricane came and most people left but Tea Cake and Janie stayed. The hurricane hit and flooded the whole area and Janie fell but couldn't swim. Tea Cake jumped in to save her and got bit by a rabid dog. Tea Cake was going crazy and was beating Janie worse. Tea Cake had a gun under his pillow and Janie moved the rounds so he would shoot three blanks before the loaded bullets so she would have time to react. When she went to talked to him he pulled the gun and Janie shot him. She was put on trial and found innocent by a all white jury. She left and went back to Eatonville where she used to live. This is when she tells her story to Pheoby. It's a story inside a story.
I thought the book was interesting. It surprised me how Joe and Tea Cake kept Janie in control and less important then them. The dialect the book was wrote in was confusing to read.
