I was so uncertain about the beginning of this book. I didn’t feel connected to Neve (and didn’t particularly like her after the first novel), the pace was feeling slow, wasn’t sure if I should keep up with it, was feeling like For the Wolf could’ve been a stand-alone… and I am SO glad that I didn’t put it down. The slow start is absolutely worth the story that Hannah Whitten spun in the duology. The tale was dark, adventurous, heroic, and unexpected.  The characters were complex, sometimes morally grey, and interesting. The ending swept together into something even more epic than I thought the story could handle, and made me cry several times. I loved it—possibly more than Wolf—and can’t wait to read more from Hannah Whitten.
