Im going to be honest, I wasnt really interested in the mystery plot (which didnt really develop until closer to the 60% mark) but I kept reading because the pack dynamics were interesting.Īnother thing that I want to talk about is the use, or lack thereof, of Indigenous folklore. Annas story is particularly heartbreaking but reading her come into her own and realize her own talents kept me going. Their dynamic was really interesting to me. That being said, I did really enjoy getting to know Charles and Anna. Its hard to even keep up with who were following, despite the fact that literally NOTHING is happening but our characters are cuddling in the cold. There are some parts where theres barely anything happening but the book changes POVs four times in one chapter. It felt like a slog to get through at some parts and usually I can churn through books like this in under a day this one took me three. However, all of that strong characterization done at the beginning pretty much falls flat when the plot moved at a snails pace in some parts. It was a very interesting and, I feel, effective way of characterization for the people at the forefront of the story. Were dropped right in the middle of life changing events at the start of the story and at first I really liked how the author created this very complicated web of people and interactions by just forcing the reader in the middle of it. This book felt like it was trying to do everything and yet nothing at the same time.
