Super disappointed. The description makes it seem like it would be an atmospheric, magical story about hunting a mythical animal. And yes they talk about it, but not the focus of the book at all. The hunt doesn’t even start until page 340. Mind you, there are only 372 pages. Like??? It was really just interpersonal drama and much more overcoming religious bias than anything else. By the last 50 pages I was just skimming bc it was so bored and really didn’t care, but felt I came to far to dnf.

Second read rating: 3.75 out of 5 stars.
Even though I read this book for the first time two years ago, oddly enough both times that I read this book from start to finish were on the exact same days.
First read rating: 3 out of 5 stars.
Out of all of the books that I read of this author, 'A Far Wilder Magic' has been stuck in my head the most. Every now and then certain scenes comes to my mind which makes me want to re-visit this book often.
That being said, I'm going to read this book again soon, and I'm also hoping that this time I'll rate it higher.
*********************************************
I may not have given this book 5 stars, but Allison Saft knows exactly how to create the perfect atmosphere and make her readers become consumed by the stories she has created.
Also, this may seem like an odd confession since I gave both of her books 3 stars, but I will definitely reread them in the future.
**********************************************
Whenever I see this cover my mind immediately thinks that it's a classic, then I see the name of the author and realize it is indeed not a classic.
I've read Allison Saft's debut novel and I liked it, so obviously I got curious in this one as well.

This review will be the most personal I’ve ever written and I was hesitant to write this but I’m writing this for me.
This book holds a special place in my heart. I have rarely related to a character more than I did with Margaret.
Just like Margaret - my father abandoned me as a child because ‘’dealing’’ (his words) with my mother was too much for him. So he just left me with her, and I quickly became my mother’s parent. The difference with me and Margaret is that I had a 2 younger brothers to care for from a young age. But I can still relate to her loneliness and helplessness on too many levels.
« I thought if I never needed anything, if I never bothered you, if I took care of us… you’d love me. But it didn’t work »
