I adored this little novella more than I can put to words. Wolves have been one of my favorite animals since I was a little kid, and this book managed to capture both the beauty of them and the harsh reality that many packs are facing; not only are they facing human expansion, but also human exploitation. Our main character here, Sean, is unable to break the cycle even herself, even after the worst happens, and it made me literally sick. I don’t think I’ve cried this hard over a novella before, how futile while simultaneously beautiful it was. Jesus, this was a tough read, but a great one.
