For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten
4.0
Very grateful to have received an Arc of this book and I cannot wait for the sequel.
This book is the story of two sisters, a wolf, an Wilderwood and the Shadowland. One sister, Red, is for the wolf, while her sister, Neve, is for the Throne. Red has know all her life that she should not form attachment as on her 20th birthday she will have to go to the Wilderwood and be sacrificed. Her sister, Neve rebels against this fate, but Red is resigned and feels that this is the only way to protect her sister from her new power.
Surprisingly, The Wolf is not the monster she expects, and the Wilderwood is not the evil place the legends told off.
I loved the slow burning romance between Red and Eammon and really enjoyed seeing both of them developing and coming to accept their fates.
I have also enjoyed the dual perspective, Red's time in the Wilderwood and her sister's machinations back in the castle trying to get her sister home.
The book kept me hooked and the twists came fast and and well written.
I think the world building could do with some more depth as I was still unsure about certain aspects of the story: Who created the Wilderwood, why is Eammon tangled in it, how is the shadowlands poisoning it, what is the difference between Eammon's magic and his blood? Why some works only certain times?
Overall, a great read and I cannot wait for the sequel.
