A Blizzard of Polar Bears by Alice Henderson

3.0

Alice Henderson re-visits Alex Carter in her latest book, A Blizzard of Polar Bears. I really enjoyed her first Alex Carter book, A Solitude of Wolverines. I liked that despite being a fictional story, you still learned about conservation efforts for endangered animals. In A Blizzard of Polar Bears, Henderson transports us to the Canadian Artic. Alex Carter joins a polar bear study where she is tracking polar bears by helicopter. When she finds an untagged bear, she tranquilizes the bear and takes samples to study. And of course, there are people sabotaging her study from the very beginning. Alex's helicopter is sabotaged, she is attacked in the artic, her samples are compromised, and many other issues. This is when I lost interest. Henderson definitely follows the same pattern as in The Solitude of Wolverines. It really worked for me in the first book, but I was bored by the second book. I would have liked to learn more of the polar bears and not so much about the sabotaging. It just didn't work for me. Alice Henderson's writing is very easy to read and the book is easy to follow. Special thanks to NetGalley, Alice Henderson, and William House-Custom House Publishing for the advanced digital copy in exchange for my honest opinion. 3 stars
