The first daughter is for the Throne. The second daughter is for the Wolf. As the only Second Daughter born in centuries, Red has one purpose—to be sacrificed to the Wolf in the Wood in the hope he'll return the world's captured gods. Red is almost relieved to go. Plagued by a dangerous power she can't control, at least she knows that in the Wilderwood, she can't hurt those she loves. Again. But the legends lie. The Wolf is a man, not a monster. Her magic is a calling, not a curse. And if she doesn't learn how to use it, the monsters the gods have become will swallow the Wilderwood—and her world—whole.

A very interesting take on the classic red riding hood and beauty and the beast tales. Was slow to start but once I hit the halfway mark, became a slightly faster read. Definitely a slow-burn.
I really nice take on the classic story. I loved each character, I loved the story and I loved the ending. I felt like it was a little dragged out tho, which would have been okay if it had been a standalone but considering that it is a series I felt like it could have been more spread out. Still on my top list for 2022.
