Empire of Wild by Cherie Dimaline . A middling story, that has so much potential but delivers so little. The central concept is intriguing, a missing man reappears as a travelling preacher somehow connected with a Canadian First Nations creature known as a Rogarou, but the execution is lacking. The characters jump to conclusions and act on nothing at such speed that I felt like I was reading in fast forward, yet so little happened at the same time. It presented itself as myth inspired horror and read like YA yet the scattered sex scenes suggested otherwise. . #empireofwild #cheriedimaline #rogarou #minimonotonebookclub #booksivereadin2021 #booksivedrawnin2021 #booksreillustrated #bookstagram #houlart #houl https://www.instagram.com/p/CPMJMGzhUM2/?utm_medium=tumblr
