rwbrock 's review for:

4.0

Sena is a 17-year-old who lives on an ice planet which boasts one big yearly event, a dangerous wolf-sled race across a frozen tundra to reach deposits of much sought-after exocarbon. She is orphaned at 12 when her mothers are killed during the race. She finds herself unwillingly drawn into the race and ends up fighting for her and her teammates’ lives.

Filled with great geographical descriptions and exciting adventures, this is a story of resilience, courage and finding one’s family. It’s also a great story of the bond between human and animal. Despite being a bit of a slow starter and experiencing some frustration with Sena at times for committing the same mistakes over and over again, I found it a very good debut and look forward to more from this author.

My thanks to #NetGalley , #StMartinsPress and #WednesdayBooks for providing me the free early arc of #ColdtheNightFasttheWolves for review. The opinions are strictly my own.
