A review by elusivity
Wolf Who Rules, by Wen Spencer
3.0
Fluffy, interesting but not as gripping as first novel in the series.
Wolf Who Rules loses some fascination due to parts of story being told from his POV, and the elf man is just not that interesting, nor are the politics particularly intricate when you consider these people all have multiple thousands of years to plot and scheme with one another.
Tinker continues to be impulsive genius, able to recover quickly from all manners of disasters, even return from space with all the improbability of GRAVITY, then hijacking a battle airship to slay a dragon. Enjoyable, but this is moving very far from realism inherent to the background setting of Pittsburgh, even a Pittsburgh that can switch between dimensions.
Finally, I am so tired of these wish-fulfilling fantasies that have elements of harem in them. Why...
Enjoyable, but I don't feel like reading the third book in the series.
