This was a great book. The word pictures of the Alaskan wilderness and the relatability of its inhabitants were excellent. I felt the struggles and the humanity of each character. This is a story of survival but more than that it is a story of human strength and resilience, a story of rising above what one is dealt and attaining the prize of self knowledge.

This was not a bad book just mediocre (in my opinion). Slow and predictable but there are some pretty word pictures.

The story was interesting but there wasn’t a satisfying ending. Maybe the series will bring a more complete conclusion.

Just when you thought that things couldn’t get worse they do. Over and over again. This is a terribly sad tale. The only redeeming value is the bond between the sisters. I would not recommend this book unless you like being depressed.

I loved the relatability of the characters. From the struggling teenager to the elderly, but not old Tova. The story flows from California to Washington in a quickly unraveling mystery that brings a satisfying conclusion with the remarkably bright octopus as the hero.

This book is full of exquisite word pictures and compelling characters who fill the pages with their relatable emotions. The plot is engaging though sometimes slow. I found the ending to be satisfying while leaving room for the reader’s imagination to live beyond the written conclusion.

The characters in the story were not well rounded and believable. Instead, the antagonist were 99.9% evil and the protagonist were 99.9% angelic.

Although very well written this was a very dark story. I wish I had never listened to it.
