Grayheart

Rating:
Summary: Wonderfully Descriptive
Review: I found this book to be my favorite. I like Star Wars novels usually, but the stories in the Wolfwalker series are truly my love. I have read Grayheart numerous times. The mixture of music is what truly makes it my favorite of the series. Grayheart is a wonderful character and the connection of family thought lost and then found is a wonderful resolution to old conflicts. It's a must read, one to read slowly to savor the flavor.

Summary: If you liked the dragon riders of pern you'll like this seri
Review: I've read 4 or the 5 books of the wolf walker series and have enjoyed all of them. Its also been fun to watch the author improve with each book and not allow a "sameness" to cheapen the whole series. It's similar to the Pern series in the empathic link to a genetically engineered species, but there is a vibrance in this series that is unusual. Good characters, rich plot, and an understanding of canines(lupines) and their motivations. Just a cool book

Summary: I just Loved it
Review: It was a great story that holds a exitement at berable levels, after a long day of work. It you want fast pace stories this isn't for you, but if your willing to read past the first three chapters, it will be will worth the wait.

Summary: It's BOOK #5! If you read it out of order, too bad!
Review: Many years after Dion has recovered from the death of her younger son (and almost her own death for the 500th time!), her granddaughter by her remaining birth son undertakes her own adventure.

It was very difficult to bring this later world into alignment with the one we got used to in the first books. It spends a lot of time talking about bio-this and bio-that and how everything on the planet is basically "grown" and not built. Kind'a hokey.

It also has a publication date that is before the fourth book's (Wolf's Bane) publication date. This is too bad. Because, by reading this book before Wolf's Bane, it damaged what would, otherwise, have been a very good story in that 4th book.

This book is ok, but it *was* hard to put myself into this new "future" when I'd become so used to Dion and Aranur's world.

Summary: I'd really rate this a 2 1/2, I was very disappointed
Review: Only 1,000? ok...

I was very disappointed after reading this book, the others were sooooooooo much better. But don't dispair! Dion's back in Wolfs Bane and Wolfs Bane is either the best or ties for the best in the series. Grayheart suddenly brought forth about 10 new characters, each more dull than the last...except for the mysterious Coale...I won't say too much more since I don't want to ruin this for everyone. Basically, this book was dry, predictable and was only a fraction of Tara Harper's talent, since it skips into another time, decades later, you don't NEED to read this book to finish the series...since it basically has nothing to do with the others. My advice, skip it.

Summary: Tara Harper is wonderful!
Review: Rezsia knew nothing of the dangers in the woods. But she needed by the elders to investigate a series of strange deaths. Rezsia had only been bonded with the wolf, Gray Vlen, for a short time. Everything was still new to Rezsia. But she had no choice but to do as the elders bid. There was no one else available.

In the woods Rezsia met an odd, older wolfwalker, Coale, who could teach her to join in the packsong and run with the wolves. Then they join with a party of scouts who were assigned to escort Rezsia to her destination safely and to instruct her in forest survival skills.

If she hoped to survive, Rezsia could trust no one. She would have to sift through the memories of the wolves, and trust her life to skills she had never tested.

***Anne McCaffrey is quoted as saying, "Tara K. Harper's Wolfwalker novels are particular favorites of mine." I understand why.***

Summary: A suspense filled plot; Hardly one to put down.
Review: This book has a suspense filled plot that constantly leaves you on the edge of your seat in anticipation. Definitely one for the casual reader who cannot stand "no-brainer" books.

Rating:
Summary: Good Reading, especially if you like the "Pern" book series
Review: This is the forth book of the series and the first one that I have read (so far)

It is about a young woman growing up in her new found skill as a wolfwalker and in her relationship with the wilderness and the people in she is travelling with. It combines a world of people who can communicate with the wolves and a mystery to be solved. The ending was a surprise to me, I never would have thought just who the "bad guy" was! Although the story had a logical ending, it left me wanting to read more. Good book, I'm now a fan!
