This story is just average in my opinion. It’s not even a bad average, it’s a good average in which I think the story was good. It’s just not that compelling. By the 50% mark, I felt like I wasn’t really connecting with the characters or the romance and I felt like this book wasn’t bringing anything new to the table. I’m trying to make a room on my bookshelf and bring my TBR number down and while reading I just realize this isn’t a book that I waste my time on if I know that if I had finished it, it probably a solid three stars.

The wilder wood takes because it must. There are far worse things lurking in the woods than the trees.
Expect tropes from Little Red Riding Hood, Beauty and the Beast, and Snow White. Not a retelling.

I did not enjoy this book. I kept going, hoping something would get better, but it did not. The premise was really interesting, but the execution of it was tedious. I didn't enjoy the love interest much. The romance felt rushed. The book had POV changes every few chapters which took me out of the main story... It did add more context, but I would have enjoyed a book of Red's POV and a book of Neve's POV separately. The magic system was really interesting, but it fell flat in the end. I'm saddened it all ended on a cliffhanger. I really pushed myself through to finish this book. I felt the final five chapters it felt more interesting because of the conflicts, but it didn't resolve satisfyingly. I truly wish I DNF'd it, as it wasn't enjoyable to me. I do not think I will read the second book. I hoped more from this.
