Lore of the Wilds
by Analeigh Sbrana
A human whisked away to a fae world to work in a magical library? Sign me up! This debut had some of my favorite YA/NA fantasy elements: humans in fae worlds, love triangles, FMC overcoming obstacles, characters fighting against oppression, and intriguing magic systems.. I especially enjoyed an all-Black cast of characters and will be reading the sequel to see what comes next. My favorite character was Finn and I would simply love to read books with him in the library.
However, the pacing was challenging, and I wanted more world-building. The primary plot point of her being taken away to the library happened fairly quickly without the build-up I was expecting. I also found that the main character was not fully fleshed out. In some ways, she was smart and capable, and in other moments too reckless and getting herself into trouble that could've been avoided.
This is a great low-stakes cozy fantasy story. A good option for fans of These Hollow Vow wanting diversity in their romantasy.
3.75, rounded to 4 stars
Thanks to Avon and Harper Voyager via NetGalley for the advanced reader copy.
