Wild is the Witch is a beautiful, atmospheric story about grief, guilt, grudges, and forgiveness. I devoured every moment of it! Rachel Griffin has quickly become one of my favorite YA authors.
The story is beautifully written. The writing is somehow both lyrical and grounded. The characters a so caring and kind. Griffin does a great job of exploring heavy topics like anxiety, grief, and guilt in such a tender way. This is exactly my kind of book, and it feels like a warm blanket next to a cozy fire.
The romance in this book is also beautiful. This is exactly my kind of enemies to romance story - two people who already know each other, but not very well, learning about each other and appreciating their flaws as well as their strengths. Pike and Iris are so caring toward one another, and I loved reading about their developing relationship.
I will definitely be reading this again. 5 stars.

Atmospheric, witchy, and such a quick read! You get pulled in from the beginning, and the plot overall is pretty fast-paced. I basically almost read the entire book in one sitting! I enjoyed the way that the relationship evolved throughout the book; it felt realistic and believable. And not too heavy on the romance, which I especially appreciated.
The magic system was interesting, I just wish we got to see a bit more of it? We get bits and pieces throughout, I think I just wanted a little more magic. Give me more books set in this world because I'd love to see the different ways witches use magic. Maybe we'll get something in the future!
