Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves by Meg Long

4.0

---

This novel is a fast paced and exhilarating thrill ride of a novel, set on a barely hospitable ice planet. Once a year, there is an infamous sled race, one our protagonist, Sena, despises because it claimed the lives of both her mothers. Sena, in desperate attempt to journey off the planet, makes a deal to participate in the race with a fighter-wolf, Iska by her side. The world building in this novel was so detailed and vivid and the development of the character’s so immersive, I went through an entire roller coaster of emotions while reading. This story truly captivates your heart and takes you on a journey of survival against predators both animal and human, all the while delivering on a beautiful found family trope that made my heart stop.
