Summary
After angering a local gangster， seventeen-year-old Sena Korhosen must flee with her prize fighting wolf， Iska， in tow。 A team of scientists offer to pay her way off her frozen planet on one condition: she gets them to the finish line of the planet’s infamous sled race。 Though Sena always swore she’d never race after it claimed both her mothers’ lives， it’s now her only option。
But the tundra is a treacherous place， and as the race unfolds and their lives are threatened at every turn， Sena starts to question her own abilities。 She must discover whether she's strong enough to survive the wild – whether she and Iska together are strong enough to get them all out alive。
A captivating debut about survival， found family， and the bond between a girl and a wolf that delivers a fresh twist on classic survival stories and frontier myths。

The audiobook was fun to listen to with a good narrator。I like stories about adventurous journeys and this was certainly such a story。Though the race described in the synops only starts at about 60% of the book， the first half doesn't feel too long or slow paced at all。 Because enough happens。 With Senna， her Iska and the people she meets。I loved reading about the bond between Iska and Senna。 How it grows throughout the story， depending on each other。 But also the friendship she builds with Remy The audiobook was fun to listen to with a good narrator。I like stories about adventurous journeys and this was certainly such a story。Though the race described in the synops only starts at about 60% of the book， the first half doesn't feel too long or slow paced at all。 Because enough happens。 With Senna， her Iska and the people she meets。I loved reading about the bond between Iska and Senna。 How it grows throughout the story， depending on each other。 But also the friendship she builds with Remy。The worldbuilding was wonderfully done， a must of course seeing the subject。 But well executed。 And as someone who rather has it hot than cold， I could feel the story in my bones sometimes。 Brr 。。。more

The world of this book is unlike anything I’ve ever read before。 Probably because I don’t read a ton of sci-fi。 It’s set on a icy planet where there are monsters that can kill you， intense weather that can kill you， and crime lords that can kill you。 It’s an exciting place to read about but definitely not one I’d like to visit。 My favorite aspect of the story was the relationship between main character Sena and the wolf she befriends， Iska。 I loved that the main relationship was between a girl a The world of this book is unlike anything I’ve ever read before。 Probably because I don’t read a ton of sci-fi。 It’s set on a icy planet where there are monsters that can kill you， intense weather that can kill you， and crime lords that can kill you。 It’s an exciting place to read about but definitely not one I’d like to visit。 My favorite aspect of the story was the relationship between main character Sena and the wolf she befriends， Iska。 I loved that the main relationship was between a girl and her animal friend rather than a romantic relationship。 Having no romance in a YA book is always a bold choice that I appreciate。 This book isn’t perfect but it has a ton of fun characters and non stop action， especially in the second half during the Iditarod-like race。 。。。more

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to read and review an ARC of this book！This was--to be blunt--sort of a middle of the road book for me。 The world building is definitely where this author and novel excel。 The atmosphere was sublime--the cold and barren landscape， the grit of survival， the wolves， they're all so vividly imagined and I could really feel the setting coming to life。 Where this story sort of lost points， though， was the pacing。 This novel is *so* slowly paced。 Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to read and review an ARC of this book！This was--to be blunt--sort of a middle of the road book for me。 The world building is definitely where this author and novel excel。 The atmosphere was sublime--the cold and barren landscape， the grit of survival， the wolves， they're all so vividly imagined and I could really feel the setting coming to life。 Where this story sort of lost points， though， was the pacing。 This novel is *so* slowly paced。 I could honestly say the real action， the *meat* of the story， doesn't begin until roughly half-way through。 Slow pacing， slow-to-start action is fine， but not in a story that is nearly 400 pages long。 It started to feel like a slog。 I also think that the characterization was a little。。。strange。 The stakes of this race are supposedly so high but the MC is just so nonchalantly described and the descriptions are bordering on the edge of purple， which makes the narrative flow very slow and meandering--doesn't really match what should be the intense， fast pace of this high stakes book。 Overall， a solid debut。 I'm not in love with this work but I would absolutely read their next novel！ If this is their starting place I am excited to see what's next！ 。。。more

This started off very strong and interesting in the beginning。 In addition it was very different from other ya books I've read and I found it refreshing。 Unfortunately though， I think the middle and the last half really struggle with the pacing。 This started off very strong and interesting in the beginning。 In addition it was very different from other ya books I've read and I found it refreshing。 Unfortunately though， I think the middle and the last half really struggle with the pacing。 。。。more

After a bone-chilling adventure with a freaking wolf - we get， yet again， a rather soft， middle of the road ending。 Of course everyone lives， of course the bad guys die。 Because that's life， right？ I wish for once one of these books had the balls to go all the way and kill some good people （or wolf）， because life's not fair， and in this icy dessert of a book， that should be more than apparent。 After a bone-chilling adventure with a freaking wolf - we get， yet again， a rather soft， middle of the road ending。 Of course everyone lives， of course the bad guys die。 Because that's life， right？ I wish for once one of these books had the balls to go all the way and kill some good people （or wolf）， because life's not fair， and in this icy dessert of a book， that should be more than apparent。 。。。more

Loved this。 It is no surprise that my favorite character is the wolf。 I enjoyed the story， but the pacing was a bit inconsistent like other reviews have said。 I also have so many questions about the people that were left behind。 In first person present tense I get that we only get to see what the main character sees， but it seems like a convenient way for the author to notnhave to answer questions too 😂 The world building was wonderful， I felt like I was racing alongside them。

Took me long enough， but I finished！ And I really liked this book， all in all。 The world and plot were interesting， the writing style is good， and I rather liked the characters （especially Remy）。 Definitely a worthwhile read。

I absolutely loved the book。 It was fun to see how Sena learns to grow in loving someone again， and how the bond with Iska （the wolf） helped her through the hard times。

This was the YA sled race on a frozen hellscape planet that I never knew I needed。 Buckle up and have a blanket handy， as the descriptions will chill you to the bone， then the action and drama will heat you back up。

Wow！ It’s been a long time since I read a YA sci fi。 There are so many good things about this book。 It’s hard to imagine that this is Meg Long’s debut。 It’s beautifully written and imagined。 I loved the setting of a frozen planet and all it’s attendant challenges。 Add some goblins and osak bears and taikats and I was enthralled。 Overall this was a great book and overwhelmingly deserves its 5 stars。 Sena is wonderfully written and I love how she is grappling with moving on with her life or facing Wow！ It’s been a long time since I read a YA sci fi。 There are so many good things about this book。 It’s hard to imagine that this is Meg Long’s debut。 It’s beautifully written and imagined。 I loved the setting of a frozen planet and all it’s attendant challenges。 Add some goblins and osak bears and taikats and I was enthralled。 Overall this was a great book and overwhelmingly deserves its 5 stars。 Sena is wonderfully written and I love how she is grappling with moving on with her life or facing down the same challenges her mothers faced。 The reveal of their deaths was truly heart breaking， but I had a feeling that something like that happened to them。 Kalba and his “family values” was despicable。 。。。more

“Their last race was for us to give us a chance at a better life off-world somewhere。 They thought they could race against the odds for that life。 Instead， my mothers were destroyed out here by the other racers。 Those same racers that have tried to stop me at every turn。 Tried to push me down。 Tried to end my life。 I climb to my feet。 It’s time that I fight back。”The pacing on this one really threw it off for me。 It's such a cool concept， and I wanted to love it， but it wasn't the strongest。On t “Their last race was for us to give us a chance at a better life off-world somewhere。 They thought they could race against the odds for that life。 Instead， my mothers were destroyed out here by the other racers。 Those same racers that have tried to stop me at every turn。 Tried to push me down。 Tried to end my life。 I climb to my feet。 It’s time that I fight back。”The pacing on this one really threw it off for me。 It's such a cool concept， and I wanted to love it， but it wasn't the strongest。On the icy planet of Tundar， winter lasts year-round， and when it finally gets warm enough to cross the tundra， the planet's famous wolf race pits racer against racer， and racer against nature。 Sena's mothers were lost to the race， and she has vowed to do anything she can to get off world， away from everything that reminds her of them。 What she doesn't factor in: the ill-timed arrival of a hurt wolf， a bad deal with a mob boss， and being forced into the very race that took her mothers' lives。When this opened， I felt like the action was going to be great。 Sena is such a little badass， willing to do anything to get off-world， and that came through right away。 She will steal whatever she has to， do whatever it takes， and the first few chapters， I was on board with everything playing out。And then， everything slowed to a crawl。 The actual race part of this plot - which seems like it should start quickly， given the synopsis - doesn't start until over halfway through。 A lot of characters are introduced， some stuff happens， but in between the great beginning and the race， there is just。。。filler。 Or what feels like filler。 I couldn't even tell you what goes on， except that it made me zone out and just want to skip through to the more exciting bits。What this book does in a really lovely way is showcase the relationship between Sena and Iska。 As a dog person， it's not hard for me to invest when animals are involved， and I found that their development was done very well。 It's super nice to have a book focused on an animal-human relationship like this instead of a romantic one。 A little breath of fresh air there。I also found that some characters became caricatures of themselves。 Especially Kalba and his goons - they are just such stereotypes that I found it hindered my enjoyment of the story when it involved them。 Sena is great， and I pictured Kirima as Peli Motto from the Mandalorian so that helped with her。 But even the professor and everyone that comes in later - I just didn't connect with them， because they felt like cardboard cutouts of characters to me。But yes， the pacing really made this one hard for me。 Once we got out onto the ice for the race， I was a bit checked out。 I wish it had been more consistent so that I could've enjoyed it more。 。。。more

SUCH a cool （ha， pun intended） idea。 Plot is a little slow， the race doesn't happen till waaaaay later， but that did not mean that the story was boring leading up to the race itself。 In fact I really liked the characters， their interactions， and the overall book， so the action-packed scenes that came later felt thoroughly built up to and even if it was slower， but the time we arrived at it， I had been hooked from the beginning and I was soooo hyped and ready。 SUCH a cool （ha， pun intended） idea。 Plot is a little slow， the race doesn't happen till waaaaay later， but that did not mean that the story was boring leading up to the race itself。 In fact I really liked the characters， their interactions， and the overall book， so the action-packed scenes that came later felt thoroughly built up to and even if it was slower， but the time we arrived at it， I had been hooked from the beginning and I was soooo hyped and ready。 。。。more

Soooooo good！ I liked how this sci-fi book was localized to one planet for starters。 I could only imagine the dominant cold weather on my skin at times with the descriptions。 I also loved that the love story was the bond between Sena and her wolf companion Iska instead of an actual romance with someone。 Overall it put me on edge in a good way and made me smile and tear up。 That’s all I need！

YA sci-fi novel， set on an unforgiving and eternally frozen planet where it's all about survival and the sled race。 I wouldn't say it's "fun" to read but the setting is strong and fast-paced。 But like all YA books about teens it drones on and on about the race （which doesn't start until well after your half way through the book） and about her mothers' deaths。 We get it。 She's lonely and bitter。 And comes off like a typical angsty teen。 But when the race does start， it's quite thrilling。This book YA sci-fi novel， set on an unforgiving and eternally frozen planet where it's all about survival and the sled race。 I wouldn't say it's "fun" to read but the setting is strong and fast-paced。 But like all YA books about teens it drones on and on about the race （which doesn't start until well after your half way through the book） and about her mothers' deaths。 We get it。 She's lonely and bitter。 And comes off like a typical angsty teen。 But when the race does start， it's quite thrilling。This book solidifies my idea that I have no desire to live in a frozen wasteland。 。。。more

Great story that could have benefitted from a great editor。 My only issue with this book is the beginning 1/3 was extremely repetitive。 The author continued bringing up the main character’s past and in the same way， it was just annoying to constantly hear。 Once you got past this point， the story was fast paced and unputdownable。 Would recommend this book to anyone that is willing to give it a little time as it will be worth it。

I didn’t finish this one。 I love the cover and the title， and the story has an interesting premise， but the characters feel flat and the pace is unbearably slow。 I kept wondering to myself， why did the author even bother setting the story on another planet， when she clearly wanted to write about nineteenth-century Yukon？ Perhaps the last half of the book takes a turn for the better， but I couldn’t force myself to read another page。
