Rating: Summary: Wonderful Book Review: Through Wolf's Eyes was a wonderful wonderful book. This is the first book that I have read by Jane Lindskold, and hopefully not the last. Ms. Lindskold kept up the feral part in Firekeeper for the entire book, but it wasn't too much that it made the book unbelievable. If you are looking for a book that is exciting, and has adventure, this is a great book.
Rating: Summary: An Unexpected Treasure Review: When I first saw this book, I thought it was going to be a kind of feminist medieval rewrite of Kipling's Jungle Book. Instead, I found it one of the most tightly plotted, gripping works of suspense and political intrigue that I've ever had the pleasure to read.The wolf's eyes refer to the viewpoint of an orphaned girl raised by mysterious intelligent wolves, and the book begins when she makes her first contact with humans in a decade. This is interesting enough, but the book really gets fascinating when "Firekeeper" is brought back to civilization and thrust into the turmoil surrounding the succession to the local kingdom's throne. This is the true heart of the book - the dynastic jockeying for a throne with no clear heir, in a kingdom caught in a cold war that could heat up at any moment. The many alliances and intrigues that swirl around Firekeeper (hailed by some as the king's grandchild, reviled by others as a pretender) are compelling and realistic. Don't start reading until a weekend - you won't be able to put it down.
