I just loved this book! If it sounds close to Clan of the Cave Bear, it is. But because I am a fan of author, Jean Auel, I just new that I would adore this book. I was not disappointed.

The description pretty much outlines the story so I won’t rehash what has already been said. But I will say that the character development is superb for a Teens and Young Adult fiction novel. I enjoyed how the author focused on Keena and Shinoni since they are the main protagonists. A lot can be said about Keena and Shinoni, and Miller-Schroeder captured the essense of these two girls as the approached their teen years in such as hostile environment.

Miller-Schroeder’s world building skills shine through as she paints a picture of the stone age, its inhabitants, and wildlife. Her descriptions sums up living during those turbulent times and the struggles that humankind had to face.

The plot is straightforward. Though there are some suspenseful moments. Miller-Schroeder deftly crafted a story of Shinoni and Keena’s journey, their budding friendship, and the terrors that they had to face. Some of the events that took place, however, were a little farfectched, bordering on fantasy. But that shouldn’t be a deterrent for an enjoyable read. In fact, it added a different dimension that fleshed out the narrative.

Sisters of the Wolf is a fantastic Teen and YA novel. It is the perfect read for those that enjoy the prehistoric era of wooly mammoths, mastodons, and dire wolves. A glowing five star novel that shouldn’t be missed.

I received a digital ARC from Dundurn Press throught NetGalley. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.
