Lore of the Wilds by Analeigh Sbrana

2.75

The first half of this book I didn’t like at all and I think it was primarily because of the love interest Asher. He just gave me bad vibes and I didn’t like his personality at all. The first half of the book just seemed to be poorly written compared to the second half as well. There was a lot where the term “show don’t tell” could’ve been necessary. I don’t think that this necessarily took away from the enjoyment of the book later on but it is just something to note. Once Finndryl was introduced I was LOVING the book and those chapters were my favorite. I love his character he just had so much more depth than Asher which was enjoyable. In the end I enjoyed the book it just took a bit for my enjoyment to take off!! I think part of that was my expectations going in as well. I was expecting fantasy rather than romantasy so it was just different than I thought it would be!!! For a fantasy book I’d say it was lacking but for a romantasy book I thought it was pretty good. Super excited for book 2 though. The twist in the end was wild and I didn’t see it coming at all so that was awesome!! Left off on the biggest cliff hanger so I’ll be reading the next book as soon as it comes out!!
