I still think about this book all the time despite not having read it in like 10 years. There are so many scenes that have permanently imprinted themselves in my brain. The characters are all so interesting and well written, written in a way that you would not expect humans to act (which is good to see since they're wolves)
Definitely a book where you cannot expect many to survive and will leave you with a deep feeling on heartbreak.

This is a wonderfully written story. It is intricate in that the story's tales are woven throughout...the tales of superstition, myths, beliefs, truths, discovery, loss, love and sadness.
The Sight is broken down into three parts. The first part was rough...it was a hard, dry, slow read. I think it was because so many of the wolves generational stories of superstition, myths and beliefs were told. These stories are very important to the larger story of The Sight but regardless, it was rough going. EM encouraged me to keep reading. I did because she so loves this book and has thrust the book into my face many times to read. I kept reading because it was important to EM and because she said that part 2 becomes far better and the reading goes quicker. She was so right.
Keep yourself reading through part 1 because part 2 and part 3 are so worth the read.

A childhood favourite. I remember this being very high stakes and emotionally intense, wonderfully immersive. Vivid recollections of the wolves' hard scrabble lives in the midst of wild and often dangerous beauty. A great follow up to Fire Bringer.

Easily one of the best books I've read. If you lik xenofiction, you'll love this one.

The description is beautiful, but there's no hook and it's slow. Not for me.
littlebookterror's review against another edition
its funny (and sad) how much reading preference can shift because a few years ago I would not have minded the biological inaccuracies or the obviously outdated information on things like pack hierarchies. Everyone has a different limit in regards to how fantastic such a novel can be and how much leeway you can give the author or how anthropomorphized you like your protagonist's species.
But man, it killed me that he actually used the "female is evil because she is barren" trope with fucking wolves?! should have been my last straw honestly.
