If they didn’t starve, they’d freeze. And if those two fates didn’t get them first, the beasts that lingered in the trees would.

This was a buddy read with my book bestie @momsterreadsandreviews 💚 Thank you for joining me in this painstaking adventure...
I have to say, this book started out so, so strong! I loved every second of it in the beginning! The tension between the friends, the stories in between of others being attacked, it was such a great setup!
But the further I got in the book, the more it started to frustrate me and the last 10% of the book absolutely broke it for me. I absolutely hated the ending. NOTHING made sense anymore, and while I understand they were in a stressful situation, all their decisions were just the opposite of what anyone would do in said situation I feel like...
And while I get that certain situations can completely change a person, it was just comical how absolutely useless Jane became once danger came into play...
Somehow, by the end of the book, I disliked all characters and I don't know if that was Ania's intention, or that's just me, but I noticed that I don't like books with dislikable characters...
I really wanted to like this book, but the end really broke it for me...
