I have not read Migrations yet, but have it on my wishlist 🙂

Thank you! Did you read her other book Migrations? I’m trying to decide if I should. I like her style.

You’re right, it’s a refreshingly unique story concept. I have the greatest admiration for the fearlessness McConaghy displays in crossing, and thus provoking thought about, the very fine line between love and hate, harm and protection, revenge and redemption.

Agreed! That’s what kept it from being 5 stars for me. I loved the writing and the wolves, but that scene made me roll my eyes. Seriously?

How are you?

It was great. I love learning while I’m reading and I knew nothing about wolves. That they don’t normally kill domesticated animals, that there is a difference in scent between those and wild animals and they prefer wild game. Who knew?

It gets a bit extreme towards the end, but overall I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I liked it or various parts of it but I liked Migrations better. This one gets a little crazy at the end like it was trying too much for a twisty eco-thriller but maybe went a little over the top. Having the kid in the woods … and then carrying her? C’mon. I just liked the story of a biologist trying to reintroduce the wolves, which has enough complications already, right?
