Laura's Wolf by Lia Silver
5.0
I'm torn between giving this book 4 and 5 stars, so I'm giving it 4.5 and rounding up. The only reason I'd be tempted to go lower is because there were a few spots where the book dragged --- I think it could easily have been 50 or 100 pages shorter and been a better book.
That said, the characters were good and I enjoyed the uniqueness of the world-building. Plus, I've noticed a rash of books lately about soldiers with PTSD, and this book really nails the topic, unlike the other books which seem like the author maybe read an article or two on the subject and then figured they could write about it. I wasn't surprised at all to read the author's note at the end and learn that she is a therapist specializing in PTSD.
