I really enjoyed the beginning of this book! The world building was interesting and the pacing was good. However, around halfway through the pacing was all over the place and just kept getting worse. For the final 30% of the book, I had to check to make sure I wasn't missing a chapter. Everything became extremely rushed, the dialogue felt odd, and overall it made me dislike the reading experience. Near the ending, there was a weird plot twist that also made me feel pretty uncomfortable.
Overall, the book had a solid beginning and the second book does have potential. I think lengthening the ending combined with some more edits could have made this first book much better.

This book has so much vibe and aesthetic appeal, the characters are interesting and Lore in particular is incredibly relatable. The world building is so much fun I enjoyed learning about it and can’t wait to learn more. The twists and turns of the story telling really keeps you on your toes and I could never predict what would happen next. Lore of the Wilds is a must read in my opinion! Also the cover and characters are gorgeous.
Minor: Death, Violence, Sexual content, Panic attacks/disorders, and Addiction
