The Vaster Wilds by Lauren Groff
4.0
adventurous challenging dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

I have never read anything quite like this. It is a poignant story about discovering the difference between survival and living, and having the fortitude to live/die on your own terms within circumstances completely out of your control. I couldn’t help but grieve alongside the main character as she mourned the lives she would never get to experience. It is beautiful, terrifying, and heart wrenching.
