I am admittedly an adult reading this young adult fantasy novel simply because I really like the Decemberists, so I get that I’m probably not the target audience. But I have been known to read and enjoy YA fantasy, and I figured this would be a quick read. In the end it took me kind of a while to actually get through Wildwood. Colin Meloy has many talents, and he had put fun ideas into this book, but for me the writing was a little off-putting, and nothing really drew me in. I’ll stick with his music.
An addition to agree with some other reviews on here: there’s kind of a lot of intense gun violence involving children, and some pretty brutal deaths? Also like, adults manipulating children. Not very whimsical.
(The illustrations are great, though!)
