Allison Saft, A Far Wilder Magic
i do find it silly when people are so obsessed with sanitizing chainsaw man they claim that not only did denji never have any REAL sexual feelings towards makima bc she's a surrogate mother of sorts and that would be incest and thus bad (real arguments i have seen online), they'll either ignore the cannibalism thing or claim there are no sexual implications there. i have no idea how they interpret the fact that denji literally says that he wants to become one with her and that a literal child is borne from this action. bro idk how to make it clear to you that nayuta is supposed to be his and makima's metaphorical daughter.
Why you should readΒ A Far Wilder MagicΒ :
atmospheric and cottage-core, set in a small seaside town that leaves you longing to visit
Alternative 1920s
Definitely inspired byΒ The Scorpio RacesΒ by Maggie Stiefvater. And while the writing styles are different, the vibes are the same.
Jewish coded MC who has to face discrimination and hate for her identity. Other religious and ethnic disparities.
Realizing and leaving abusive relationships, and all the complexities that go along with such a topic
Sunny/happy-go-lucky boy and grumpy/standoff-ish girl
the romance is lovely and the characters help themselves grow and evolve as people
old manor house
alchemy! and a hunt for a mythical creature that our two characters team up for!
this book is so soft it's like hearing a piano playing from a distant room
but I'm appreciative of how it takes on and handles the more difficult and uncomfortable subjects
she just watched him eat fried rice with his fingers
