Namely, she has circled back to being annoying. She grew and matured over the course of The Simple Wild, but she appears to have regressed in this book. The protagonist, Calla, could also benefit from some reworking. The book is over 400 pages in length, but I imagine everything of importance could be conveyed in 300 pages or less. Some scenes go on for too long, and then other scenes feel a bit like filler. The primary issue with this book is that it feels drawn out. The book was at times tedious, and on more than one occasion, I contemplated shelving it and picking up another book. Whereas The Simple Wild grabbed my attention almost immediately, Wild at Heart failed to ever reel me in. The Simple Wild was one of my favorite reads of last year, but this sequel will unfortunately not be making the cut onto my favorite reads of this year.
