Red Wolf: Exile Part 1

I like this book because I am picky and reject books with bad world building and inauthentic details. You can blame my rich, varied, well-lived life. I am picky about wilderness survival and hiking stories. About stories of crossing culture and learning language. About women, gender, and family dynamics. About geography, history, historical economies, technologies, textiles, and foodways. I am picky about stories of fights and self defense. This story doesn't ping my “you've got to be kidding” radar in any of these areas...plus, you know, stuff like plot and characters are cool and all.

I want more.

NB: It ends on a not-quite-cliffhanger after establishing the characters and resolving one of the main conflicts while introducing more. I care about the characters and am happy to pay $3 USD to buy the next one. This is a new author for me, but won't be my last book by her.

Edit: I've now read parts 2 and 3. They are actually ALL PART OF ONE BOOK, just split into three parts that you have to buy separately–?? The chapter numbering also continues serially from parts 1 to 2 and 3. I do recommend getting all three since they FUNCTION AS ONE NOVEL. Well worth reading, interesting development, sustained world-building and character arcs. I approve.
