It reminded me of an adult version of Hannah Whitten’s “For the Wolf,” but I did find that book more enjoyable.
It’s clear Nokik is a talented writer, her descriptions are lovely and evocative. However, I was uncomfortable with the attempted sexual assault near the beginning of the book and couldn’t really move past that since it was unnecessary to the plot.
Her characters were well written but were boring and took their sweet time to do anything.
