Book Review: Frost Wolf


Review:  #530
Title:  Frost Wolf
Series:  Wolves of the Beyond - 4th book
Author:  Kathryn Lasky
Read Before:  no
Comments:  Once again, a strong novel in the Wolves of the Beyond series from the author.  Frost Wolf follows Faolan and his continued life in the Watch.  However, you start to notice that supernatural elements come heavier into play, it was present in previous books but it is dialed a lot more.  The story overall is also darker and carries a mysterious element.  The mystery carries for most of the book but loses traction and becomes too easy to predict by the climax.  The Beyond has a seemingly neverending winter, with wolves perishing from hunger.  A mad craze engulfs most of the remaining wolves as they dance to their death, led by a so called God on Earth.  Unfortunately, the ending was not satisfying and took just a tad too long to get the momentum going.
Rating:  6/10
