Her mouth quirked halfway to a smile, then fell. “I’m for the Wolf.”
His thumb had brushed over her lower lip. “I’m for you.”

Themes in this book: a curse binding unwilling participants to the Wilderwood (a magic forest that keeps an entire shadow realm at bay from destroying their world), the love between 2 sisters and the lengths they will go to protect and save each other, betrayal and loss, found family and friendship in the most unexpected places.

Wow this book was so dang good. The magic in this was so well written, and so unlike anything I’ve ever read before. The world building itself was just f l a w l e s s.

I will say… the slow burn almost killed me, and honestly the only reason this wasn’t a 5 star read for me WAS BECAUSE I WANTED MORE OF EAMMON AND RED I WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED.

This was really fun! I love a fairytale retelling. A very unique twist on a lot of old fairytale tropes. Red is a cool protagonist, and Eammon is a good MMC. 

DNF @ pg. 146
It was so dull, and not in a "maybe it pays off" way, but in a "mediocre film that is completely devoid of anything exciting or concrete, to the point where you find yourself wishing it was even bad in an interesting way"

DID NOT FINISH: 12%

Just boring. Characters felt lifeless and plot was meh. I had hoped for something more with Eammon’s character but he was just as boring as Red.
