As a fan of fast paced reads, this was definitely a challenge for me, but I am glad I finished it because I actually enjoyed the second half more than the first!

There were so many parts i want to go back and revisit already! I think the length if the book was just right, and the author left enough mystery and unanswered questions to keep it tense and intriguing throughout, without being frustratingly so.
As it was in a post apocalyptic survival sense, it could be seen slightly differently, as part of the storyline, if not totally appreciated from my perspective.
The author's use of such beautiful writing on human-animal relationships, the appreciation of nature, and the balance of life/death demonstrated such a huge awareness of the preciousness and fragility of life, and the sense of agency every living human and non-human animal has, was fantastic at giving another side to the classic survival story, and another way to perfectly demonstrate that the world is much bigger than us.
