A Far Wilder Magic

This was a wonderfully executed piece of fantasy! Frankly, I've never read anything like it before and i was fully captivated throughout the whole time i was reading this book. The idea of a mythical and dangerous fox hunt combined with alchemy and a slow-burn type of romance is honestly the best mix one could come up with haha!

I loved the author's writing style, it was enchanting, but straightforward at the same time. I also really enjoyed the sociopolitical and religious commentary expressed through the fictional time setting she chose.

However, what I enjoyed the most was clearly the relationship between Margaret and Wes. I just love the grumpy-sunshine dynamic ESPECIALLY when the boy is the one playing the sunshine role. Moreover, them being so different in nature only made the plot more entertaining. Wes was charming, goofy and clumsy, whilst Margaret was demure composed and, of course, grumpy. Loved how Wes was Margaret's emotional support person and helped her realise that withering away in her old and lonely manor was not her destiny. She had the power to choose her own path in life, she just needed someone to help her learn to dream and Wes, being the supportive little ray of sunshine that he is, manages to do just that✨
