For the Wolf
by Hannah Whitten
I found this book very meh. I really disliked the writing style, it made it difficult to read. The idea of the story was interesting and other than having a hard time with the writing style I enjoyed the book initially, I was interested in seeing how the plot unfolded. However, once I was finished, it was just such a let down.
It was 400+ pages of lots of questions and verrrry few/limited answers due to characters holding pertinent information back from other characters and I can’t stand that in stories. It’s okay when it’s just initial and then eventually you get the info once trust is built etc, but this lasted the entire book. Due to the writing style, even some of the things we got answers to were confusing because the author was trying to be too poetic and didn’t actually end up getting the point across.
I don’t need elaborate world building, but this book was pretty lacking and there wasn’t much info on the magic system.
This also had the religion/faith/cult story line where the “church” gets too much control and I never enjoy that type of plot. I find it quite exhausting and annoying.
The book had a lot of potential, but it just didn’t deliver for me. One thing I did enjoy though was the love story between the two main characters. It was certainly a slowwww burn with not much payoff, however there was something about it that I enjoyed. It felt genuine and sweet.
I don’t think I’m going to read the sequel to this book, I mostly just don’t care how things turn out and it took me a while to get through this one.
