Wolfblade

Posted : 16 years ago on 27 April 2008 04:33

This being the first book in the Wolfblade trilogy but the fourth book in the Hythrun chronicles it’s hard for me to say as yet if this is better then the Demon Child trilogy (first part of the Hythrun chronicles).
Set some years before the Demon Trilogy it makes for an interesting read seeing as you get to revisit old characters and learn more about characters mentioned previously. It’s also obviously not really a carry on from the first trilogy. Other then the fact that it’s set in some of the same places and has some of the same characters it could probably be a stand alone trilogy, so far.
There is one thing that is better and stands out and that’s the mistakes. Someone did a ripper of a job editing this and I have to say I’m impressed with how few spelling errors there are compared to before.
That’s about all I have to compare this with the first part of the chronicles.
This isn’t your typical magical fantasy seeing as there are no dwarves, elves, dragons or as yet heavily magical battles but it is your typical fantasy when it comes to political intrigue, betrayal, royalty and war. Of course it wouldn’t really be fantasy without some magic and magical beings which it does have it’s just not riddled with it.
I like Fallon’s style because she adds so much detail and I feel this novel had a good amount of detail although slightly predictable at times it wasn’t as predictable as what I’ve read before (there I go comparing again) whether that’s because of what I did read of her work before or if it was really unpredictable I don‘t know. I’m referring here to a part at the end of the book that I was not expecting and it’s probably the first truly unpredictable part in the whole story. This probably made it an even better read then it started out as and has made me want to hurry up and read the rest so I can find out what’s going to happen next.
