The Sight by David Clement-Davies
2.0
The Sight seems to be right up my ally, ancient evil, families a'feudin, dark woods, winter and wolves. Checks a lot my boxes we are go for launch, but...this book has a few problems for me that start impeding my enjoyment of this book pretty early on.
Now I have said it before I will say it again "I LOVE wolves", but these wolves are the characters of the book it is their wolf pack that is a'feudin with another evil wolf pack. Hmmm...this concept just did not work for me and I don't know if was in delivery of it by way of the author or what, but every time something bad went down like super suspenseful and or dramatic, I expected the lead wolf to go
Which seems to take away from the creditability of the book, non?
But there were other things too, a lot of the facts about the wolves were not exactly um true, I love wolves and I am no expert, but David Attenborough has taught me a few things and this book was like opposite. I decided that these were "magic" wolves and applied the same rules you would to unicorns.Also they had awful names which I just could not get behind, that being said they were wolves and if one of them was Linda or Barb, I guess that would have been an issue as well.
And then the wolves got a bit frisky ...a bit amorous..? and
NOPE.....Uh-uh
