Book Review: City of Foxes by Vanessa Walder (The Secret Life of Animals: Forest #3)

 

Note: The title of this book has been translated into English by me for the reading comprehension of this blog's viewers as the book itself isn't available in English (yet). The original title reads Das Geheime Leben der Tiere: Wald #1: Stadt der Füchse.

Before you're wondering "hey, why is Alex reviewing book three in this series but have they skipped book two?": the answer is simple, this is an anthology series. Each book is about a different animal and a completely different story. Book one (which I did review) is about a she-wolf, book two is about bears (which I do plan on covering eventually, just not yet), and book three is about foxes. Book four is about ravens, but I'm unsure if I want to cover that one. So just to let you know that you (or I) are/am not missing out on anything by skipping book two.

Without further ado, let's have a look.

Book Review: The White She-wolf by Vanessa Walder (The Secret Life of Animals: Forest #1)

Note: The title of this book and series have been translated into English by me for the reading comprehension of this blog's viewers. The original title reads Die Weiße Wolfin from the Das Geheime Leben der Tiere: Wald series. The book is currently not available in English (yet).

I really don't read enough German books. I mean, I do, but often times I'll instead read the Dutch/English translations since those are the languages I'm most comfortable with. However, I am still trilingual; German is actually my second language I was taught at a young age by my family due to me having plenty of German relatives.

And my comprehension of the language is...varying. I can very well understand it when reading, watching movies/series or even in a basic conversation. However, speaking/writing it is very difficult to me. So it boils down to me being pretty good at understanding it, but not being great at communicating in it myself. I know the basics, but just find it very difficult. 

Anyways, here's a book I'm reading and reviewing today that hasn't been translated into any other language (as far as I know) yet! So I'll be reviewing the original German version! Spoilers ahead.
