A review by kjulie
For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten
DNF @ p.178
Too much angst and too predictable for me. This was a Beauty and the Beast retelling (I obviously didn’t look into the synopsis very intentionally because that came as a bit of a surprise). I thought I’d enjoy it, at least a bit, since I remember enjoying Uprooted (which it was compared to) and The Wolf and the Woodsman (which came out at the same time and has a similar initial premise), but it just dragged on and on, and I didn’t care for any of the characters at all. I felt like I could sense exactly would happen in the rest of the book (brooding, struggling with magic, betrayal masked as helping, this would be the twist, and then the sisters fight together and win). No thank you, that’s not what I want to spend anymore time reading.
