It’s been some years since I finished reading The Wildwood Chronicles - I had forgotten just how much I enjoy Meloy’s writing style. It’s delightfully descriptive, and has a special way of really making me, as a reader, feel like I’m there. This book is no different. It’s full of lovable, interesting characters, and I will admit I was caught off guard by each turn of the plot - though I recognize that for many readers, these plot points may come off as “predictable.” Overall, an excellent read and wonderful way to kick off the year after letting it sit on my bookshelf for longer than I’d like to admit.
