As the second born daughter, Red is to be sacrificed to the Wolf in the woods. She is relieved to go, magic that she can't control runs through her veins, atleast the people around her will be safe. But the legends lie, the wolf is a man, not a monster.
This book was bloody great. It had everything I love in a fantasy book and more. A sentient forest that feasts on bloodโ Beauty and the Beast meets Red Riding Hood vibesโ Moody centuries old love interestโ Weird magical cultโ Badass main characterโ I honestly just couldn't get enough of this story, and the fact that this is a debut left me flabbergasted.
Me and romance in fantasy have a very compliacted relationship, but whilst reading For The Wolf, I was totally into it. Eammon is wonderful, and I love him. I'm talking moody bookworm, with a tragic existence, just my type. His relationship with Red drove me crazy, you could literally cut the sexual tension with a knife๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
I really enjoyed the journey of For The Wolf, but the ending was something else entirely. There was so much going on, Whitten did not hold back. And that cliffhanger?!?!? I need the sequel For the Throne as soon as humanly possible๐
This amazing book hit the shelves yesterday and if you love fantasy, then you're going to need it, just saying. Thanks so much to Orbit Books for the gifted copy!
