The Wolves of Winter
I watch a lot of the shows on Discovery that showcase Alaska and the individuals living on the edge of civilization. The individuals in this novel could live in any of these shows. I, myself, don’t think I could survive such extreme conditions and the very thought of being cold, almost every day, sounds like hell to me.
I really enjoyed this novel. The writing and the flow within this novel was excellent and I am hoping (seriously hoping) that we will hear more from these characters in the future. I felt an attachment to a few of the characters and to the main character of Lynn, my emotions ran deeper. There’s a slower, more relax feel to the novel as you become accustomed to the Yukon Territory and its lifestyle but as events begin to affect this quiet region, a faster pace takes over the novel.
Lynn is a sharp, perceptive young woman who has led a shelter life after leaving the states with her family and a few others. Lynn doesn’t know much about the life they left behind. There is fear of what lies outside their small community but Lynn still feels that she’d like to venture out to see what she is missing. When new individuals come into their area, they create quite a fury. There’s fear, excitement, answers and questions, for everyone involved. Usually these individuals will pass through without any trouble but there are those who are the exception.
