Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves

I've had this on my tbr since July and it lived up to my hopes! I mean. LOOK. at that COVER. And the pacing, though slow, kept me engaged with the characters and involved in the icy, rugged landscape Long painted for us. I'm the kind of reader who sits on books well before i read them, so when I finally get around to a book and it makes me wish I read it earlier, I know it's one that will stick with me. I haven't read Long before but I feel I've grown attached now. This story was RIGHT up my alley with genre, characters, pace, setting, and overall execution.

I tried, but I had to stop. She makes horrible plans, doesn't see how she was in the wrong, keeps playing victim, and that's just about the main character. We're now halfway through the book and the race hasn't started. Many things keep getting repeated and I'm just... tired.
If you can handle a slower start and an unlikeable character then totally give it a shot. I'm just not going to root for a character that bites/abuses an animal and barely cares that she is the cause of another dying.
