I guess in some ways, magic is always real. Instead, the magic depicted in this book makes you wish that magic was real. I’ve read a lot of heavy magical realism where strange things happen to people and those stories always seem so depressing. It uses magical realism to an extent that it’s whimsical. This book was honestly one of my favorite reads of the year. You could only imagine the kind of life a wolf boy may have lived. When his parents inexplicably die, he was raised by wolves and only to be caught by the police and brought to live with the rest of society. The only power Weylyn’s ever wanted was to feel normal. Weylyn Grey was born with magical powers powers that allow him to speak with animals, grow plants, and change weather patterns with his emotions. The day that the branches did sway cemented in me that magic is real and we all have a little bit of it in us.īeasts of Extraordinary Circumstance is the story of Weylyn Grey told through the eyes of the people who encounter him. I did this up until I was in my teens always believing that the wind was on my side. I would try to control the wind with my mind and a true test of that would be to make the branches sway. When I was younger, I would concentrate super hard on the tops of trees. I’m also a huge fan of hers and well, thought it would make sense for a book like this. I don’t normally include a song to go with my reviews, but the entire time I was reading this book I kept thinking of this Selena Gomez song Wolves.
