Night of the Wolf by Alice Borchardt

2.0

This is labeled second in the Legends of the Wolf series. I read the first one back in 2009 and enjoyed it and just got around to reading the next one. For at least half, i was so confused! At first i thought well is that because it's been years since i read the other? But finally i realized, this is a PREQUEL! Oooh! This story shows us when Maniel the wolf starts to get kind of a slightly human awareness. However, this is no werewolf story. He is a wolf first. A wolf that can change into human form, not the other way around. It's slow. So slow. It finally picks up and we see some interesting Roman history and also about the people they subjugated but it only stays interesting for a very short while. By the end I was just skimming. I have the third book to read, which is actually the sequel to the first. So, hopefully that will be more interesting. Oh and the author is Anne Rice's sister (or, was, as she passed away). Don't expect Anne Rice quality from her, they're two separate people.
