They’re all very different individuals, with their own strengths and weaknesses, and the author had me so invested in seeing them overcome every challenge thrown at them. It’s clear that her own experiences shaped this novel – in addition to dog-sledding, she appeared on a special episode of Discovery Channel’s Naked and Afraid – lending an authenticity to the behind-the-reality-scenes aspect of this book that made it easy to speed through.īut for me it was the characters, and the emotional journey they faced alongside simply surviving, that made this book such a gripping read. Small Game is the debut novel from Blair Braverman, though not her first book she’s also written about her life as a musher, and she has a clear and well-honed voice. Either way, survival just turned from a game into something real – and Mara will have to call on every skill she has to keep herself and the group alive. But the contestants wake up one morning to discover that something has gone wrong – or the producers of Civilization are throwing them one truly outrageous curveball. And the promised payday at the end was more than enough to sweeten the deal – more than enough to start the life she truly wants to live.
