This just might be my favourite book of the year! It was so tense, I loved the characters, plot turns, atmosphere everything! It was so well-plotted and the writing was also stunning. So many beautiful quotes! I think my favourite was after the birth: "I am halved and doubled at once" and the scene where the wolves gathered around and warmed Inti. Magical! . There are so many layers that I think I will need to process and it is difficult to have words for something I loved so much. Highly recommend!
