Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves
by Meg Long
* I was sent a early copy to review.
An epic story about a girl who just wants to escape her world and a wolf who was bred purely to be vicious are thrusted into a deadly, high stakes race with very little hope of survival.
Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves is set on a highly uninhabitable frozen wasteland of a planet where every creature that happens to live on it, is extremely deadly and out to get anyone and anything for a quick meal. This entire planet has absolutely nothing going for it except this deadly race that happens once a year and where plenty of people hope to make some sort of money by the end of it. And that’s what our main character Sena wants, to make enough money to get off of the planet that has nothing to offer her. Even if it means competing in a race that tore apart her family and took everything she’s ever cared about away from her.
I actually bumped this book up a star because it surprisingly brought tears to my eyes which, by the way, is HIGHLY unusual for me. It did take quite some time, like half of the book, to get to the high stakes race part BUT I think that was important because we really learned what kind of character Sena was. She’s alone with not much to lose and all she wants is to escape. I think that’s a really important part of the theme for this book so don’t let it get you down.
But what I loved most about this book? The bond between wolf and girl. I’m a sucker for animals and prayed the entire time I was reading this book that the wolf would make it out alive in the end. Which, I won’t say what happened either way *insert wink face*. But I freaking loved the fierceness of this wolf and the pure joy she brought not only me, but Sena. This book is about finding your own version of a family and you know what was a breath of fresh air? The fact that there was absolutely zero romance. I honestly thought I couldn’t enjoy a book that had no romance but this book proved me wrong. This is also a story about a found family and I know we all love that.
Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves is Meg Long’s debut novel and I for one can’t wait to see what else she brings to the table.
