Thank you to NetGalley and Wednesday Books/St. Martin's Press for allowing me to read a copy in exchange for a honest review. This review might contain spoilers so please read at your own risk.
Thank you to Allison Saft for writing A Far Wilder Magic it is one of the better books I have read from this publishing company.
Full confession: I skipped the first chapter after the second page because it read like a checklist to me. Margaret does this? Check. Margaret complains about weather? Check. Did she start cutting wood? Check. Honestly, if I had not skipped it I would have despised the book and Margaret, but thankfully it gets better after the first chapter. Also, the name Wes is ruined for me (if anyone else has watched Nailed It from Netflix then they will probably understand why).
I love Wes and Margaret together especially when they start to realize that they have *shudder* feelings for each other. I also adore that he did not find Margaret attractive at first sight even though by every other books definition she would be seen as beautiful. I also laughed when he was wondering what was wrong with him when the most beautiful girl in the world was right beside him but all he wanted was Margaret (all together now... aww). His name might be ruined for me but he will have a piece of my heart.
The things I did not quite love about the book and the reasons for why its not five stars is because of the religions. I would have loved the religions to be something newer because its pretty much everyday religion and so it got me confused if this was supposed to be one earth or some other world. I thought the actual Hunt would be longer, but we spent more time on the preparation of the Hunt and the Hala than anything else and when it finally got to the Hunt all the excitement was gone.
Perfect for those who love alchemy or female MCs who finally find a way out of the shadows or male MCs who don't care what people think about them but will do anything for the ones they love even if it makes them appear selfish.
