Song of the Dark Wood
This is a top read for me this year and I’m telling you, you’ll want to read it.
“Let’s agree to keep asking each other questions that challenge us to see beyond everyone else’s expectations. Let’s keep asking questions that tear down world’s, Rowan.”
This was my first book by Sheila and it won’t be my last.
The writing was just phenomenal, pure magic that for me is similar to how I feel when I read Adalyn Grace and Rebecca Ross- pulled in, emotional and as if I’m in the actual story. I read this in two sittings that’s how much I didn’t want to put the book down.
The Feminine Rage in this book was done SO well. It’s a “coming of rage” character driven gothic fairy tale fantasy romance that follows Rowan as she grows up in what I consider a cult type culture who sacrifices women to be “devoured” by The Wolf. Her “job” as set by The Elders is to seduce The Wolf and figure out why the blight is spreading and threatening the village and the food supplies.
“Rowan chuckled a muffin at him. ‘I’m angry because you didn’t trust me to be able to handle a conversation about it. You didn’t trust me to be reasonable.’”
Read if you like:
*Grumpy MMC
*Music based magic (which was wicked awesome!)
*Haunted forest
*Seeing ghosts
*He falls first
And I would say if you liked The Foxglove King or A River Enchanted then you should read this standalone. Just trust me.
