Edgewood is a YA fantasy that blends themes of magical realism, fairy tale, contemporary, and mystery into a wonderfully magical story. This novel is just a really fun time. There is something comforting about it, despite the fact that there is a lot of tension sprinkled through the narrative.
I loved sitting down and reading through the story. I will admit that the start was a little bumpy for me, but as I settled into the writing I found myself just really enjoying everything on the page. I loved the world and the fun characters and the relationship between Emeline & Hawthorne. (Also, I just really loved the name choices.) There is a great mix of dark and light, with things not going too far into the twisted, but giving just a touch of creepy.
The whole thing just felt effortless. I think that shows the real magic in the writing. Everything felt natural and flowed the way it should. Despite the magical world, it all felt believable and I just had a great time. I consider this a cozy comfort read and would definitely snuggle in and read it again, or be incredibly thrilled to read more from this world.
