The Wolf by Leo Carew
3.0
3.5
I really enjoyed reading this book, but there were some aspects that held it back from receiving a 4/5 star review from me.
Starting with the positive aspects, the fight scenes and action during the battle had me at the edge of my seat, and really allowed myself to feel immersed in the brawls between the Anakim and the Sutherners. The political warfare between Roper and Uvoren over the throne also added to the battle with Roper battling two fronts. The last 100 pages of the book had my attention the whole time, and the pacing, action, interactions were AMAZING!
However, as many of the other reviews have stated the book possessed potential and had so much more to offer. The characters developed, yet I felt no connected and felt mechanical and unrealistic. The beginning and middle parts of the book also felt slow and draggy which made me put down the book many times as I felt like continuing to read was tedious. The last qualm I have was the ending of the last battle which I won’t go into detail was unexpected but convenient.
I recommend this book despite my critiques, and I hope to go into the second book of this series with higher hopes as the author has gotten his debut jitters out
