Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves
by Meg Long
I was so excited for this YA fantasy debut!! The cover is AMAZING and the concept seemed so great: a dystopian ice planet world, a young girl, a wolf, a dogsled race all while fighting for survival against fantastical foes. Sadly the pacing of the story was REALLY slow, the race doesn't even happen until just after half way through. The friendship between Sena and Iska (the wolf she rescues from a prize-fighting ring) was the best part of the story for me. I also really enjoyed the world building - the story is definitely atmospheric. Overall if you're looking for a fantasy blend of Balto and Call of the wild this story might appeal. For me it was just an okay read that I felt could have used some romantic elements. In any case I do look forward to seeing what's next by this author and it was good on audio.
