WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK. AH FUCK OFF. Would’ve loved this EXCEPT the pregnancy troupe - minus one star. AND THEN MINUS ALL THE REST FOR BIRTHING A BABY IN THE WOODS IN DECEMBER and cutting the umbilical cord WITH HER TEETH.

Did you grow up with an unhealthy love for “Julie of the Wolves”? Did you devour the whole trilogy? Did you make your siblings reenact being a wolf pack with you? Did you scold them for trying to talk instead of using “wolf communication”? At least one of those? Then this is probably the book for you. (Check CWs though- there are some doozies).

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.

A really excellent short read. I could easily have seen this expanded into a much longer book, but the story was perfectly contained.
