The Wolf and the Woodsman by Ava Reid

fast-paced

5.0

A captivating fantasy novel that blends ancient magic, religious tensions, and a slow-burn romance. The author's exquisite prose and lyrical descriptions of nature create an immersive world. The characters are well-developed and relatable, with complex motivations. Reid's storytelling skillfully weaves together fantasy, history, and human emotion, resulting in a unique and engrossing tale that lingers in the reader's mind long after finishing.

Narrator Saskia Maarleveld delivers an outstanding performance. Her narration brings the characters to life, effectively conveying Évike's longing for belonging and Gaspar's internal conflicts. Maarleveld's talent enhances the story, making it a vivid and emotionally resonant experience for listeners.
