This book was a little different than what I’m used to reading, but I’m a huge survival/wilderness nerd so I was very excited to read this. It definitely delivered in exploring some interesting themes through the girl’s journey in the wilderness: how giving a name creates power, weighing the danger of man vs the danger of nature, and different religious themes. However, I struggled with the pacing and structure of the story. It felt a little all over the place at times, so it was hard for me to become truly invested in the girl’s journey.
