I have so many mixed thoughts on this book - I loved the world and the magic system, but I found the pacing in the first half of the book very slow and hard to get into. However, it definitely picks up around the half way point.
I really enjoyed the magical aspect of the wilds and how Jenna's magic is described. I do wish we were able to see more of the wilds in this book, but maybe the sequel will expand on that.

This book was amazing! At first, I was thinking of DNFing the book since the beginning was boring and confusing to me. Once I hit page 100 though, everything changed. The story really picked up and became fast-paced, which I like. The plot, characters, and romance were amazing and it was everything I wanted in a book and more. The only issue I had was the length of the chapters. There were only 26 chapters in this 419-page book. This made the chapters long. When I read, I don't like stopping in the middle of a chapter, I just like to finish it. This book made it hard to read just a chapter since each chapter was really long. As a result, I would try and read this book when you have a lot of time. If you don't care about stopping in the middle of a chapter then you should ignore what I said and start reading ASAP. I would 100% recommend this book to anyone who is willing to power through the beginning. I cant wait to see what happens in the second book.
