The Hunger by Alma Katsu
3.0
Finished The Hunger by Alma Katsu and… I’ve got mixed feelings on this one. I didn’t know anything about the Donner Party going in, so that part was actually super interesting. I found myself deep-diving into the real history.
The twisty, supernatural spin was a cool idea and gave the story a creepy, eerie vibe that fit the tragic backdrop. But honestly? I had a hard time staying fully engaged. Not sure if it was the narrator (I listened to the audiobook) or the pacing, but I felt a little disconnected throughout. I also didn’t really click with any of the characters, which probably made it tougher for me to get invested.
It wasn’t a bad read, just not a favorite. A solid 3 stars from me.
