Brilliant White Peaks

I have always been drawn to wolves.
I wish I worked in a wolf sanctuary.

When I saw this was coming out, on 9/23 I added to my to-read list and searched and waited for it to arrive.
I received an ARC 12/22; I was busy with holidays, so started and read on 1/9/22.
I could not stop reading until I was done.
I love this was told from wolf perspective!
I felt like I wolf also.

I recommend this book to every wolf lover, animal lover/advocate, and person who wants a good story!

"“The forest is alive. You are alive. Do not be afraid. You are here, and nothing will hurt you,” Ma sang."

That's probably how I would describe this book by Teng Rong – alive. Both in the sense that you can feel the characters coming to life while reading it, and the fact that it's about life itself.
It was a amazing reading, and even more it was an amazing experience. The stile and the atmosphere surrounding it were something I would call ethereal and delicate, but it lacks on conveying the right emotion. At some point was heartbreaking and cruel, but that's also part of life and nature themselves.
I really lack on words to describe a book so rich of emotion, and talking about the vivid characters, their point of view (never broke, a realistic experience) or the page-turner plot is reductive and it would be disservice towards an author on which I'll keep my eye on.

"I kept going north. A path led me down the mountain until I stood in a valley once again. This time, the valley had thin and tall trees, just like the trees from my childhood. It was pristine here, so I decided to rub my scent all over the trees. Let it be known that I was here and that I have laid claim to this land."
