Song of the Dark Wood by Sheila Masterson
4.0
My rating 3.5
Thank you to The Realm Archives and Sheila Masterson for providing me with an ARC copy of Song of the Dark Wood in e-book format. This is my first time reading Sheila Masterson’s work, and I was not disappointed. The story was incredibly entertaining, with a unique twist that blends Red Riding Hood with a Hades and Persephone retelling.
The Song of the Dark Wood was extremely entertaining to read but very predictable. While I appreciated Masterson’s spin on these classic tales, some of the parallels between Rowan, the main character, and Persephone felt a bit heavy-handed for my personal taste. That said, Rowan's journey through the male-dominated world she navigates was deeply relatable, and I thoroughly enjoyed witnessing her character growth by the novel’s end.
Overall, I really enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone seeking a fun, short romantasy read.
What to expect:
