A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft
4.0
This book was lovely.
Why you should read A Far Wilder Magic :
-atmospheric and cottage-core, set in a small seaside town that leaves you longing to visit
-Definitely inspired by The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater. And while the writing styles are different, the vibes are the same.
-Jewish coded MC who has to face discrimination and hate for her identity. Other religious and ethnic disparities.
-Realizing and leaving abusive relationships, and all the complexities that go along with such a topic
-Sunny/happy-go-lucky boy and grumpy/standoff-ish girl
-the romance is lovely and the characters help themselves grow and evolve as people
-old manor house
-alchemy! and a hunt for a mythical creature that our two characters team up for!
-this book is so soft it's like hearing a piano playing from another room
-but I'm appreciative of how it takes on and handles the more difficult and uncomfortable subjects
It took me a little while to get into, and I thought the beginning was a little slow (but I was also busy and didn't have much time to read). I think I enjoyed this about the same as Down Comes the Night , and Allison Saft is definitely an author that I will read whatever she writes!
