3.0

Book was recommended by the digital overlords. I guess the ones and zeros figured i was in a fantasy mood after the last set of books i read. Webb's writing style is different from Ashtons, action is quick and to the point. Characters do not spend paragraphs of contemplation before making a move, and frankly its not always needed. So far, i like the change in story telling styles.

As for Corin the Gray Wolf. Part of the story reminds me of Gemmel style of herioc fantasy. Not quite the same caliber, but i get the feeling Webb was aware of Gemmel. The story itself was short, maybe a little to short. While i did not need pages of dialogue to explain a characters action, some decisions characters made seem to have come from nowhere.

 Overall, the book was OK. I curious to see where the story goes. I hope the story telling gets better.
