danyalvy 's review for:
Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves
by Meg Long
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for gifting me an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I really liked the idea of this story, with lots of adventure and a deadly race with wolves, but it just didn’t excite me as much as I hoped it would.
Sena irritated me to no end. I understand that she lost her mothers and was severely depressed because of it, but her bitter, untrusting attitude drove me crazy. I did like that she was intelligent (when she actually stopped to think things through rather than being impulsive) and didn’t back down from a fight.
I loved that there was a found family. Remy and Iska were my favorite parts of the book. Both of them are fierce and loyal and just wanted a friend. Iska honestly surprised me and grew on me very quickly, though why wouldn’t I love an awesome wolf? Her and Remy are just the kick that Sena needs to fight her depression and move on with her life.
I did enjoy the race, it’s where I really think the book picked up, though it did take half the book to get there. It was faster paced and there was more action in it. And the world building throughout was great, I easily envisioned everything that happened at every point of the book. But I do feel like I have a lot of questions that I still want answered.
Overall, I think the idea of the story was different and exciting, but that the characters just needed to be fleshed out a bit more.
