A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft

tense
slow-paced
4.0
It is a story that showcases a mystical slow-paced fantasy with the presence of political and religious beliefs. It is mostly focused on its dark atmospheric feel of alchemy and magic. It has this great balance between the plot, character dynamics, and the magical elements with a bit of intrigue.
A beautifully written story with its real depiction of the inner vulnerabilities and intimacy between the characters throughout the book. I was intrigued by the contrast between the narratives of the main characters and the kind of survival they had endured. The complexity of the deep-rooted hatred of the people and the actions both had to do to be invisible as well as be indifferent is so saddening. I was rooting for them both to be well, safe, appreciated, and loved.
Overall thoughts are that this proves YA Fantasy standalone can be greatly appreciated if done well and this was a cozy and comforting read. I was fully emersed in the story itself and had a great time for the reason that I didn't want it to end. Sometimes standalones like these, I wished to be longer.
