Review # 1 was written on 2021-08-20 00:00:00 Marc Tosca This has a far more uplifting ending than the first one, but the issues I mentioned in my first review still bother me (aside from my personal inability to visualize objects being put together as described in books; I'm better with that now, hooray) and now I have new troubles. This book is just too long. Normally, that's not a complaint I would make, but so much time is spent in this tug-of-war between Miyax and Kapugen with neither of them giving any ground whatsoever that it gets tedious -- and simultaneously makes the ending feel rushed, because the development isn't there to support it. Still, it's a more satisfying conclusion to Miyax's story than the first book. First review While I do enjoy this second part of the trilogy for its peek into Eskimo life and how differently they see things from us gussaks, not to mention the kind of adorable visit with the wolves, there are two things that bug me. Peter, for one. A romance is almost never necessary, and in this case, I found it especially egregious. And the second, the progression with the wolves. In the first book, everything took time, patience, and a lot of watching and studying. In this one, things resolved themselves more often than not, and a little too quickly. The only other problem I have is a personal one; I have a hard time visualizing when people describe putting things together in books. This was a problem for me in the first one, too, but it wasn't as noticeable, because I didn't have any other issues. Still, it was a great follow-up.
