I loved every minute of this! And I honestly kept having to remind myself it wasn’t a memoir.

I just couldn't really buy into this book. And the ending just really irritated me more than anything. It's a lot of mind meddling, which I would expect from a thriller. I just wish the ending was more satisfactory

It’s going to take me some time to process this book. It was beautifully written, but haunting and thought-provoking. I felt cold the entire time I read it- could never get warm. The relationships- people, wolves, land, country. It’s heavy, but worth the read.
