This book made me believe in soulmates.
Classic romance and longing are back, people! Romance, lore, and original magic are blended with beautifully poetic prose that feels absolutely timeless. It's like we bottled the perfect 1920s classic romance with a dash of fantasy. "Wild Reverence" by Rebecca Ross was everything. If you're looking for magical book reviews, add this to your list!

2.5 stars ✨ "I would wait a thousand years for you. If you asked me, I would wait for you until only my bones remained upon an altar. But if you must leave again, then let me follow you, Red. Honestly, such a disappointing read. It was inconsistent in the way it was paced. There were so many ups and downs, it was tough to push through. The middle was a drag. So repetitive in its narratives with how Matilda's character arc was stuck in a loop with little growth. The book could have easily been ...

6 stars.
I genuinely don't have words. This is one of the best books I’ve read all year, and without a doubt, one of my new favorite books ever. This was the type of book that brought tears to my eyes simply because of how heartbreakingly beautiful it was. The writing, the prose—I wanted to inject each and every word into my veins. I didn’t want to leave this book; it made me feel every emotion under the sun, and the number of tears I shed in the end?! My goodness, how lucky are we that words ...

⌗ 1.75/2 stars No one is more disappointed by this book than I am. Rebecca, I trusted you 😭🙏🏻.Wild Reverence started out so promising - I was enjoying every second, savoring how well the world was being set up. The characters felt like they were on a journey to become some of my new favorites, and the writing was magical, as always. However, after the 50% mark, everything fell apart. The pacing was terrible. It felt like nothing was happening, and I was constantly skimming pages. I literally ...

3 stars ⭐⤷ Mini spoiler-free review!! ⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ My thoughtsAnother unpopular opinion (maybe I’m the problem), but this book was a struggle to get through 😭 The premise and plot were genuinely interesting, but the pacing was PAINFULLY slow 😭 It got to the point where I felt like I was on the verge of a reading slump, and I came thisss 🤏🏻 close to DNF-ing it, but I pushed through till the end I always tell myself not to waste time on books I’m not enjoying, yet sometimes I just can’t ...

Beautifully Wounded, Wildly Devastating!This book *is* my language—hauntingly beautiful prose, devastatingly raw emotions, tropes that *never* miss, ache, the letters… it’s like Rebecca Ross raided my brain and wrote my dream novel. Nothing beats a beautifully written YA fantasy that rips your heart out and heals it in the same breath, and characters that will live rent-free in my head forever. If a book could bruise me in the best way, it’s this one. A fever dream of angst and love—I’m obsessed...

4.75!“I would wait a thousand years for you,” Vincent said. “If you asked me, I would wait for you until only my bones remained upon an altar. But if you must leave again, then let me follow you, Red.”
I don't know what sorcery this is, but the more I love a book, the less likely I am to write a review for it. It's because I know I have so much to say, and I just ramble on and on until it gets sooo long. And I NEED MOTIVATION! My exams are just around the corner, so guess what came knocking a...
