Once there were wolves had me gripped, there was tension throughout the whole book and the mystery was well done in my opinion. I loved learning how wolves help the climate and are a vital factor for reforestation. However, at some points I had the feeling there were too many different themes, too much crammed in this book. Sometimes the conversations between characters didn't feel very realistic to me, too. Plus, the ending felt a bit weird to me
; how can you continue living with you sister who killed one person, and tried to kill the father of your child??? Aggie then leaving with the horse also kind of felt like an easy way out
. Still, I enjoyed this book and would recommend!
