A review by clairedevo
Wildwood by Colin Meloy

4.0

I read this book about 7 years ago when I was in middle school. I’m glad I decided to read it again, not only because I’d forgotten a lot about what happened but I enjoyed it a lot more the second time around. It’s a very descriptive book but I loved the plot and characters the most. And I think the beautiful illustrations served a wonderful purpose in terms of storytelling and world building. I love a book with maps so this was automatically right up my alley. I hope to continue the trilogy with Under Wildwood and Wildwood Imperium next. And Septimus the rat is my favorite character by far
