When you start the book off immediately in combat, I don't care about the characters or really know what's going on, so, I'm not invested. The book shifts POV, so then I have a whole new character to not care about. There desperately needs to be some world building early on.
"Her father once told her that some men were born to ride the storm, while others were crushed by it. There was no denying that the Wolfeater was such a man" (p. 154). Some weird writing here - I think the narrator means that the wolfeater is the former not the latter.
The bad guy is a mustache twirling stereotype and all of the characters goals are either misguided, change or conflict in ways that make one of the characters seem clueless. It takes away from the narrative thrust of the story.
It certainty gets better as it goes along. The POV characters are well characterized. The writing is pretty strong - the ambiance of the frozen tundra world really comes through.
