I found the story slow to begin with, and felt myself leafing through the pages waiting for the promised body to be discovered in the woods. However, after the first 100 pages things really picked up and I devoured the rest of the book. The writing is gripping and the themes are interwoven deeply within all aspects of the story. Inti is a  sympathetic main character because of her flaws, and her story felt very real and well-rounded.

This book really hit a nerve with me. I loved it even though it ripped my heart out multiple times...
As so often I didn't love the split in dual timelines. I listened to it on audio. I really enjoyed the narrator, she did convincing accents and has a soothing voice.
Love the insight on wolves and enviornmentalism.

I'm going to start by saying I loved this book. It was engrossing and written beautifully, probably one of my favorites I've read recently.

it's hard to figure out how I feel about Inti. I find some of the things she says to be naive and, like one character even tells her, borderline eco-fascist (which feels like a bit too strong of a word, but I'm not sure how else to describe it). The ending was incredibly unexpected and I'm not sure how I felt about it, and the violence seemed gratuitous and hard to read at times. but this book was gripping, and despite thinking it was corny at times I ultimately can't help but love it.
