Helpful Score: 2
I read the first book, The Sword, and enjoyed the fantasy world Johnson created and the premise of the 8 brothers and their destiny was a new twist. The Wolf did not meet up to the standard of the first book.
I felt like there was way to much page space being done in the book, what with all the info from the prostitute. I expected Wolfer and Alys to grow in their new found love and friendship instead the sex scenes. All the double info that was really not needed at all.
Instead of the quite and gentle nature Wolfer had, he is now an angry man who constantly loses his temper and storms around. I was looking forward to his story, based upon how he was written in "The Sword." So this was a bit disappointing as well.
In fact, one of the most intriguing aspects of THE WOLF is watching Alys come alive! As a free woman, she is beginning to recognize her own sense of empowerment. Teaming a personality like Alys up with Kelly, especially in the dojo scenes to gain confidence was good.
I still plan to read the next one. The Master is suppose to take place in another culture.
