What a strange book. I was left with a lot of questions, and I'm not sure getting them answered would improve the book.

Very slow to develop and switching between the different characters/worlds was more confusing than engaging.

I think I really like Rebecca Stead! This story is exciting and engaging without being overly dramatic or traumatic. I also really liked so many of the characters including the dogs who had their own strong personalities too. The descriptions of setting are so detailed and rich sometimes I felt cold while reading this! I'm looking forward to reading more from Stead.

This started off kind of slow and confusing and weird. And quickly got pretty darn good. I think my niece would love this book. I might have to get it for her for Christmas!

Omg this book is so cool! I’m not sure exactly what about it I love so much, but maybe it’s like a fictional hidden society that could be real and we could never know, or just reading stories about kids who do cool things like go to Greenland with their parents, or kids from fictional fantasy places that I wish I grew up in. Also I love all the dogs, from both worlds, like I love the concept of everyone gets a dog companion and they’re yours for life and they live about as long as humans. Oh and I would absolutely love to ice skate everywhere.
Also self-sufficient communities that survive with no influence from the outside world are super cool and so fascinating to me.
5/14
This book had me hooked the whole way through! I so wish that I could live in Gracehope, like it’s such a cool place and I love almost everything about it! Also the characters are so young like what?? Thea is 14 and Peter is 12 I think? Like they seem at least 15-16 years old and I cannot believe this.
So yeah, I love the characters, love the premise, plot is cool, and I want a cool lifelong wolf/dog companion so bad, like I would give anything to have a Chikchu, bonus points if I was an ear adept and could hear its signals.
Also the cover of the book I own is not the same as the one on goodreads, and honestly they’re both super cool and it’s such a good cover.
