The Wolves of Winter by Tyrell Johnson
1.0
Pretty much a stereotypical YA book. Girl is special. Girl meets special boy. Some bad guys. Girl and boy “fall in love” despite not knowing each other. Girl is living in the wilderness (with her family) so of course she’s a great shot with a bow and arrow. Why not switch it to guns? Maybe she’s bomb at setting traps. Hell maybe she’s just enjoys fishing. But like nearly every other wilderness survival YA book, she’s good with a bow.
I was really looking forward to this. I felt like the author could’ve taken the whole “Yukon at the end of the world” a million different ways. He didn’t even make the landscape a character... instead he went the boring and cliche YA route.
The writing wasn't amazing either. There would be flash backs and all of a sudden we'd be back in the present.. except there wasn't any transition and I would be confused about certain scenarios because I didn't know what was previous and what was now.
I didn’t mind this book until about page 250. Up until then it was a 2.5. But the last 60 pages... ugh. I had to skim them.
