This. Was. EVERYTHING.

I freaking devoured Lore of the Wilds y'all. I read on audiobook and was utterly captivated from the very beginning. As soon as I finished, I proceeded to sit down in my home library and cradled the hardcover, pondering the realization that this story made me feel like I’ve FINALLY reconnected with a years-lost part of myself as a reader. Like this book made me remember why I fell in love with new adult romantasy in the first place, somewhere around 5 whole years ago. It’s also extremely cozy, full of fae fun, and proved to be a delightful escape. I cannot recommend this one enough.

While I mean it when I say that this is cozy romantasy at its absolute finest, let me also emphasize that there are ALSO high stakes and corrupt evils at work and omg THAT ENDING?? I did not see that twist coming at ALL, like I figured we'd revisit a certain winged fae who came to Lore's shop in the beginning BUT NOT LIKE THAT. If you love soft, feminine yet still headstrong and outspoken FMCs, plus a magical library and swoonworthy fae males to fall in love with...READ THIS BOOK📖✨
