Dark is the Wood (Enchanted Tales with Dragon Scales Series) by Kristin Ward – Review by Micalah Weatherholtz

Dark is the Wood: A Young Adult Fantasy Romance by Kristin Ward
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dark is the Wood is a Young Adult, Dystopian, Romantasy novel with Witches, Dragons, and Dragonborn galore. Gillian, in desperation, to save her brother, ventures into the Shadowlands to hopefully find a cure for a sickness that is plaguing her people. It also had similarities to some older fairy tales like Red Riding Hood, a little Beauty and the Beast. Some tropes that I thought fit were definitely an enemies to lovers, found family, and forbidden love. I read a lot of fantasy and I can attest that sometimes it can be wordy, or hard to follow, but that wasn’t the case here. It was confident, well worded, immersive writing, with wonderful character development throughout. Enjoyed reading.
