What do You think about Night Of The Wolf (2000)?
There really is such a thing as too much detail. I remember Enjoying The Silver Wolf but honestly I'm really not sure what went wrong with this one. Maeniel (our intended/supposed protagonist) ended up in the background a lot past the halfway point, plot-lines were rushed or ended in an unsatisfactory fashion and the author spent far too much time showing off how many different flowers, colours and foods she knows, as well as overly decorative ways to describe physical intimacy. I felt like my time was being wasted, which was a shame, I had expectations that just were not met.Honestly I think the only reason I'm giving this two stars is because I enjoyed the character of Lucius and the book did make me laugh a couple of times.One last thing. Alice Borchardt? Please research wolves a little more thoroughly before you try to educate a reader with your narrative. Wolves do mate for life. Period.

Not at all what I was expecting. Slower than the second one and more confusing. No clear explination on how the wolf is first transformed into a man. Most of this book was veiled in reference and the metaphorical than actual facts so that was frustrating.Hard to get through, I really had to force it in the begining, althought towards the middle end of the book it did get better. Not was good as the next one, but despite the rocky start it was ok.I hope the third one is better, although to be honest I don't think I'll be hunting down her other books...

This is labeled second in the Legends of the Wolf series. I read the first one back in 2009 and enjoyed it and just got around to reading the next one. For at least half, i was so confused! At first i thought well is that because it's been years since i read the other? But finally i realized, this is a PREQUEL! Oooh! This story shows us when Maniel the wolf starts to get kind of a slightly human awareness. However, this is no werewolf story. He is a wolf first. A wolf that can change into human form, not the other way around. It's slow. So slow. It finally picks up and we see some interesting Roman history and also about the people they subjugated but it only stays interesting for a very short while. By the end I was just skimming. I have the third book to read, which is actually the sequel to the first. So, hopefully that will be more interesting. Oh and the author is Anne Rice's sister (or, was, as she passed away). Don't expect Anne Rice quality from her, they're two separate people.
