Hunt for the Shadow Wolf: The Lost History of Wolves in Britain and the Myths and Stories that Surround Them by Derek Gow
dark
informative
medium-paced
2.5
Arc provided through NetGalley
Unfortunately this book wasn't what I'd hoped it would be. I had hoped for an exploration as to why historically and nowadays the wolf is such a hated animal. This webt more into individual stories of it's extinction. None of which were pleasant to read obviously.
The story that was there was often jumbled. It would start a stoty, go into a few different stories (related or not) and then finish the original story 30 pages later when I'd forgotten about it already.
Due to this being a review copy I don't blame it for any spelling or grammar mistakes. But oh my, were there a lot of them. That definitely needs to change before it's eventual release.
