Of Woods And Wilds is a New Adult urban fantasy series. It combines coming-of-age elements with partly queer love stories that do not drive the plot but instead complement the characters’ development.
Core Themes
Self-determination, tolerance, identity, and friendship.
Narrative Style
The chapters alternate between two contrasting voices:
- Nate’s chapters are characterized by atmosphere, emotion, poetry, and metaphor.
- Ryan’s chapters use short, direct language focused on observation and action.
This alternation defines the tone of the first book and makes the dynamic between the characters immediately perceptible.
Structure
Bloom follows a clear structure:
- Beginning: focus on romance, friendship, and relationships.
- Middle: expansion of the world and introduction of a cosmic lore.
- Finale: strong drama and action.
Special Elements
- An original magic system and supernatural beings based on an overarching cosmic lore.
- Familiar supernatural creatures (e.g., werewolves, vampires, witches) are given new traits and integrated into a unique system.
- A blend of everyday reality, a supernatural and dangerous plot, and coming-of-age themes.
