The premise is interesting and fun: A young man bonds to a wolf and becomes part of a human/wolf pack. The man and wolf have a psychic bond, but it is not all sparkly rainbows. The execution is disappointing. The writing tries for a literary style but ends up confusing and ugly. For example, this quote from the first paragraph: "Njall was sixteen, almost a man even if he was hoping for just one more spurt of growth, but her head was as broad as the span of his palm between her eyes." Whut? The novel is full of complicated names that closely resemble each other, change frequently, and are introduced then dropped. I had a hard time keeping track of characters. The book includes a lot of graphic non-consensual sex (I would certainly consider it non-consensual), but I felt the ramifications of it were not explored well. In short: GREAT ideas, bad execution.
for a special occation, and of course (a) special person(s)... :)
