Each character was well done, without any annoying ones on the part of the narrator.Elka barely remembers a time before she knew Trapper. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? It had so many unique aspects to it.Ĭan't answer that without spoilers, so I'm not answering. I can't think of any books that truly compare to it off the top of my head. What other book might you compare The Wolf Road to and why? And as you move farther on in the book you realize that the scene at the start wasn't really the finale and that if you didn't already know that fact, you may have been so focused on that that you would have missed the real story!! It's good.
About two or so chapters in you wonder why the author gave away the end at the beginning? But it's still has you and you keep reading because it's a good story. The book grabbed me and held me right from the start. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
