The Wolf in the Whale by Jordanna Max Brodsky is an emotional journey of epic proportions with some unique takes on identity and romance.
Yes, another ‘kissing book’ snuck onto my reading list!
The story blends Inuit and Norse mythology in a way that makes you feel you’re learning while being completely immersed in the tale.
Omat is a layered protagonist— brave, stubborn, spiritual, and uncertain. Their journey is full of nail-biting and rage-inducing moments with such vivid prose you can almost feel the cold and hear the crunch of snow and ice underfoot, taste the seal blood and maktak.
The clash of beliefs is handled expertly, without turning it into a cliché “good vs. evil” – there’s a matter-of-fact’ warts-and-all approach to both cultures.
If you like myth retellings, as I do, this book is absolutely for you.
