Genuinely might be my favorite read of the year so far. Does a fantastic job handling hard content. Really envelopes you emphatically. Phenomenal read.

I liked learning about wolves.

I’m not sure the “twist” ending with the sister being the perpetrator and getting away with it was for me. I also couldn’t get over the fact that she was pregnant and just ignored that for the whole pregnancy?!? What if something had happened to the baby?

4.5

Luontokato on aiheena todella kiinnostava kaunokirjallisuudessa. Rakastin Viimeistä muuttolintua eikä tämä kirja peloistani huolimatta pettänyt. Itselläni ei koskaan ole ollut varsinaista "susivaihdetta", mutta kirjan kuvaukset villiinnyttämisestä, metsästä ja susista olivat upeita.

Henkilöhahmot olivat samaan aikaan rasittavia ja rakastettavia. Välillä jotkut tuntuivat vähän turhan liioitelluilta tai muutoin epäuskottavilta, mutta sitten muistin, että kirjassa on epäluotettava kertoja. Kirja oli oikeasti kiintoisa ja ihan erilainen kuin monet lukemani kirjat.
