For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten

⭐️ — DNF at page 156

I honestly gave this my best shot but the world building was both too simple and super confusing which like the book doesn’t make any sense. If the plot hasn’t started 156 pages in idk what we’re doing here friends. There will be another time for this book but right now is not that time.

Took a while to get going and to really understand what the stakes were. Could have done a little better world building, although maybe she wanted to maintain the aura of mystery? The wilderwood was super creepy in the best ways and I loved the Wolf! Intrigued to see where book 2 will go and how it will wrap up this tale.

All in, I thought this was a good book and I’m happy I picked it up. The plot has moments where it was really strong and captivating, but there were also moments of repetition and what felt like fluff to fill the pages. I’m not mad I read it! The second book is on my October TBR, and I’m excited to get to it.

I always give myself a hundred pages of a book to decide if it’s worth it or not to continue. The answer was absolutely not. I couldn’t care less about the characters or the story. I was left confused and with questions only- about everything. Quite literally nothing was answered at all before even more questions popped up in the book. The whole deal with the forest doesn’t make sense, the world building doesn’t make sense, I had no hope for any outcome. I didn’t even understand any action sequences because I felt  blindfolded through the entire 100 pages.  Such a terrible book. I feel like I shouldn’t even donate it it’s so bad.

Great premise but the writings a little choppy. And the ending feels like they could have done that to begin with (joined powers) but it’s a great cliffhanger and a SLOOOOOW BURN.

This book sucks you in pretty quickly. The fantasy world was unique and interesting, and while it’s marketed as a twist on Little Red Riding Hood, there were some Beauty and the Beast vibes in there, too. It’s one of those books that blurs the line between good and evil, and forces you to face the reasons why some people turn towards darkness. The road to hell truly is paved with the best intentions, and if you don’t have access to the truth, how can you make an informed decision? How can you be held accountable if you genuinely couldn’t have known any better?
