Really good. I'm not well versed in werewolf stories but found I didn't need to be to enjoy this book. I found it the perfect balance of plot and character (maybe leaning more toward plot though). If anything I actually wish it had been longer... By the last few moments I was thinking "what, it's over already?! I want more!"

I enjoy Cherie Dimaline's work and will definitely be picking up more by her.
