Hmm. Intensely atmospheric. I felt like I could smell the wilderness when reading.

The lack of plot here leads me to docking points. But despite this being more of a love letter to Alaska rather than a “beauty & the beast” style story, I found myself caring about all of the characters, even through their shocking mistakes.

After 43 days, I am calling it. I can‘t push myself any further. I tried the digital arc that I received, then I added the audio, then I added a print copy, in hopes that I would be able to push thru. I love this period of US History, but the slow meandering plot just did me in. Also, at this part of the book, some things were added to the story that I felt just slowed it down further and didn‘t make sense with where things were going. I read 👇🏻

intothehallofbooks the last few chapters and, honestly, I wish I‘d have stopped trying weeks ago. Many people love this one, so don‘t take only my word for it. It just sadly wasn‘t the book for me. Thanks to Knopf for allowing me to read this one. I love Dust Bowl stuff and it stinks that this one didn‘t work out for me. 3d

intothehallofbooks @dabbe @bookaholic1 I should have bailed sooner! 2d
intothehallofbooks @Ruthiella I was curious about her other books before trying this one, but now I don‘t think I‘ll be picking them up 😬 2d
dabbe @intothehallofbooks Well, next time a book doesn't hit you in just the right way, #hailthatbail and get outta there! 🤣😍🤩 2d
Aims42 Thank you for the honesty. I was next in line on my library‘s wait list for this, but it does not sound like what I want to read right now. I canceled my hold, hopefully the person behind me is excited now 😄 15h
