Once There Were Wolves


 

“Once There Were Wolves” by Charlotte McConaghy

Published by Flatiron Books

Finished 12/9/21 – 3/5 stars

 

My favorite parts of this book were all related to the wolves.  The descriptions of the animals and scenery were beautiful and well written.  And the storyline in general of reintroducing the wolves into Scottland brings hope for their conservation and environment.  If only it were true.  Maybe one day they will follow the United States’ lead and welcome them back.

The storyline involving the humans was good, just not my favorite parts of the book.  I loved the bond the sisters had even though some of the time it was a little over the top.  Maybe that’s because they’re twins.  Most of the story was fairly predictable, however, the ending did have a couple twists thrown in that I didn’t see coming.  Those were definitely done well but as enjoyable as the ending was, the book in its entirety is still just an average book for me. 

I know many people give this book a higher rating so my opinion is not the norm.  Give it a try and decide for yourself how good of a book it is.
