Wildwood
by Colin Meloy
I wanted to like this book so much. But it has broken the spell YA fiction was holding over me for the past few months. It took FOREVER to read, the dialogue was forced and awkward, and the story overall just didn't capture my attention. I was disappointed at the end. The author sets up a magical world that I just never felt absorbed into. Likewise, I felt no connection to any of the characters...they were more caricatures than anything else. The illustrations were okay, I guess. I think the author put great effort into this, but it just missed the mark for me.
