The Wolf and the Woodsman by Ava Reid
5.0
I was provided with an advanced copy of the novel by Netgalley for review purposes.
The Wolf and the Woodsman is a fantastic debut novel by Ava Reid. I enjoyed the magic system and the way real world folklore and cultures were woven into the story. The novel has incredibly compelling characters with very understandable struggles and motivations. While the gore and violence might be too much for some readers, I think it was perfect for the story the author was telling. The ending was a bit rushed in my opinion, but it didn’t detract from my overall enjoyment of the book. The story is more about the journey than the destination, which is understandable. Ava Reid has a very strong voice as an author and I look forward to reading her next book, assuming she writes one. I’d recommend this book to any fantasy fan who likes books with Eastern European folklore elements, but I would caution them to be aware of the content warnings first.
