I DNFed at 60%. I am trying to limit the YA books I pick up, but The Wolf and the Woodsman was presented as different and fresh. I listened to it via audio, and the narration was great. However, the book was not for me.

I try to not judge YA. It is written for young adults and not a 40 year old person. But…the main character was facing death and just kept lamenting over this guy that had shown her no interest. It was Insta lust and not well done in my opinion. Then the first half the book nothing happened. I gave it 10% more but finally decided to stop. I just didn’t enjoy the characters and the plot was boring.

Others may absolutely love this book. It all depends on what you look for in a book. If you love angst then this may be a perfect fit. The writing itself was fine, which is why I waited so long to DNF. In the end I decided to give it to others on the waitlist.
