A review by herbwyfe
The Wood Wife by Terri Windling

4.0

I am a very picky fiction reader and fantasy/magic is not an interest but this book came highly recommended. The writing style is easy to read and for me a good fiction keeps me thinking about what I just read when I have to put the book down. I do love the AZ desert and enjoyed the both accurate and magical descriptions of the natural ecosystem. The romance side of things was predictable, and I would have liked more depth. The fantastical scenes were interesting though I found myself skimming a bit indicating it went on a bit too much in some sections. I loved the attention to poetry and thought that it could have been woven in a bit more.
I am glad I bought the book b/c it will be one of those rare fictions that I will reread several times.
