Customer Reviews

This book was great!

This book is the sequel to "Go Saddle the Sea" and very good. Joan Aiken continues the same style of writing in this book as she did in "Go Saddle the Sea." Thirteen-year-old Felix is traveling back from England in the early 1820s to his home in Spain with a boy named Juan who he saved from hanging. This book is more creepy than "Go Saddle the Sea" but still has the same wonderful passages describing the scenery. For anyone who loved "Go Saddle the Sea" "Bridle the Wind" is a must along with its sequel "The Teeth of the Gale."
