This was a very good book but the ending just left me feeling kind of bereft. I grew to love Elka and I wanted better for her. The end of the book did pretty much resolve the main issues throughout but one of the things for her throughout most of the book is

realizing that she just wants to be able to stop moving, to have a life where she doesn’t spend it looking over her shoulder. And she didn’t get that. The ending had her going off into the woods once again alone. Sure it’s hinted she had wolf but she lost her only friends and family. She’s still on the run from the law. I went looking to see if there was a sequel and apparently there isn’t.

so it just kind of left me unsatisfied.
