I listened to the audiobook of this so please forgive any misspellings!

The story starts with Senya, one of the Valor also known as a Wolf, trying to ease the suffering of her starving city, and Radok one of the Grey Crow named the Wolfeater.

This is a great standalone story. It's packed with vivid and engaging characters and a setting that's evocative and interesting. I'd love to see more of the world of the Wolfeater, whether with these characters or new ones exploring other aspects of the world. I definitely felt the bite of the wind as the story took us across the frozen wastelands and I enjoyed finding out about the different tribes that lived in the world.

The story, which started out feeling like a powerful and driven revenge story, unravelled into something much larger with repercussions beyond the close cast of characters we travel with. Even with expanding scope of the story, it all tied up very nicely at the end but still kept the feeling that the characters will live on and have more to do once the book is over.

On the audiobook side, I thought it was wonderful narration. Harry Brooks did a brilliant job. All the character voices felt distinct and memorable and full of emotion-kudos for that as there was a wide range of characters to voice!

I'd highly recommend this if you fancy something with strong characters, a wintry setting, and an epic, self-contained story.
