There is more than one way to be isolated
She remembered how her mother had told her once that heartache and grief are their own strange kind of gift because they remind you that you still have a heart to break.
I really liked Leelo and Jaren’s characters. I also really loved their strong sense of family. For Endlans having a strong sense of community it was odd it wasn’t arranged like a town. What I took away was the feeling it was a group of isolated people living in isolation separately together, if that makes any sense. They were only around each other in large groups for festivals and events.
The wolf is still an interesting but fleeting part of this book. One that plays an important but understated role. The Forest is another aspect that has a tendency to fade into the background until it gives a reminder of what it’s capable of. It’s also one of the aspects of the book that I wish were explained a little bit better besides the magic.
Some of the reveals in this book I had partially guessed but man… some of them were more tangled than a kitten in yarn! I liked the resolution of Leelo and Jaren’s plight and the ending of the book but it seemed a little convenient. Then again – the citizens of Endla; for being a small completely isolated community, are especially adept at keeping secrets from one another.
I would like to thank Bookish First & Inkyard Press for the opportunity to claim a copy of The Poison Season with points. I truly enjoyed this dark tale of a community isolated by more than just its physical barriers.
