Last of the Wild Days: Book Two - Summer
Having torn a bloody path across the rest of the north, the Howling Hunt has at last fallen upon the hidden valley, and as the final victim of its insatiable hunger, the village of Winter's End is no more. With every soul having been either killed or abducted for a fate worse than death, the one responsible has fled in guilt and shame, only to face ever-more terrible choices in this new, uncertain future.
Yet from the ashes of Winter's End, a small handful of survivors seek to find where their friends have been taken, stage a daring rescue from captivity, and to discover the truth of what happened to their home as well as the only soul unaccounted for after its massacre - their old friend Summer...

A truly epic sequel to one of my favourite reads of the year.
This carries on from where we left in book one, Last of the Wild Days - Book One - Spring which ended in
We follow the same main characters who are both on separately adjacent quests, Brookwind the badger and Summer the fox who were raised as siblings in Winters End before its destruction.
Summer is laden with shame, guilt and self-hatred for what he inadvertently caused at the end of book one (despite it probably happening at a later date anyway).
He gaslights himself plenty and still tries to navigates the in-between of being both a Flesheater by nature and a Forager by nurture.
We also see Brookwind mature into a fully grown settkeeper, his grief a manifested quest for justice to see
The expansion of the world took us to new locations, I loved reading about Mournepine, Knotspire and the Wild Forest. The food descriptions sound delicious despite insect ingredients!
Definitely a mixed bag of themes, I mean that in a good way. Scratches many itches.

There were a few typos throughout, which I did alert to Kindle with the correction - just minor things.

Very confused
All of book 2 was covered in book 1. So I just spent 16 hours thinking that just the first part of this book was a repeat but it ended up being the whole book. And for anybody reading the series knows that the books are large. I have the ebook versions of both if that has anything to do with it. I spent $5 on book two when I didn't need to. That said, it was interesting enough for me to continue to read this series, but the author has a lot of problems with punctuation at the ends of quotes and other issues that he needs to hire a better editor for.
***** Spoiler alert *****
This book ends with Summer and Brookwind seeing each other for the first time since the massacre of Winters End as Knotspire is burning down.
