Billed as a paranormal romance, but offers excellent world-building and a heckavalot of Anglo Saxon, some of which I was able to manage without the in-text translations (Dr. Bart would be so...proud?).
Upending many fantasy tropes, no one is particularly chosen to save the world (it's astonishingly community-centric), and the male protagonist is the outsider. Vale does a good job of handling a massive amount of information in a first-person narrative, and the substantial grimness and violence are offset by occasional flashes of humor and tenderness.

Couldn’t connect to the main characters. Interesting world building couldn’t save the lack of interest in the characters or plot.

I saw that the Learning the Tropes podcast did an episode on The Last Wolf and since I love them and books with shifters and wolves, it was pretty much a no-brainer that I should read this. And seeing as how I had already made my mind up about it, I didn’t even look at the synopsis, so I had absolutely no idea what to expect, but it all worked out because I actually really liked The Last Wolf! It was definitely unique to any wolf/shifter story I’ve read before. There were so many new aspects to it that intrigued me. I was very interested in the world, the characters, and learning more about them. I enjoyed meeting the heroine and hero — I just enjoyed The Last Wolf period and I’ll for sure check out the rest of the series!

I really have fallen in love with audio and that is why I wanted to give pnr another go, though I feel this was more UF in this. It was just, dunno, darker.
Silver is the runt of the pack. At the bottom, hopping around on 3 legs, and no mate. She was also more wolf than human. She did not like to be in skin, and it did make it a bit funny at times when she tried. She was nice and she was a wolf.
Tiberius shows up and asks for mercy and she is the only one that can save him. Because then she might earn a real place. But he is a shapeshifter, and they are bad. They always turn on wolves and kill them. But he really seems to want to work for it. And I liked seeing him trying to be a wolf cos here it was he who was bad at it.
He must learn to be a wolf so that the pack will accept him. There are troubles outside the gates. And Silver must think of her own future if they fail being accepted as a couple. So there is passion (obviously), danger and so many wolves.
I really liked how wolfish these people were. In other books they might be wolves but here they really were wolves. Pack was pack. Pack raises pups, pups runs around as wolves. Everything from mating (with a big M), to eating. Really wolfish. It made it different.
I enjoyed it. I wonder if the next one is about them also, or another couple.

I liked how she narrated this and I felt she got Silver right. It made for a fast pleasant listen. And like always, def listen to it.

This was a good book, well written, great world building and well developed characters. You get an understanding of the hierarchy of these wolves and what it means to be a lone wolf.
How will this end for our Last Wolf?
Read it to see!
(I received for free from the publisher in hopes I would review honestly. )

Enthralling, spicy romance. Does it get a little weird? Yes... Does it get a bit violent? Also, yes. Did I love every minute? Absolutely.

The Last Wolf own a unique take on werewolves. I loved it. I loved the characters and the world and I cannot wait to dive into the rest of the series.

A fantastic take on werewolf lore, with loveable/interesting characters sprinkled throughout and a genuinely delightful FMC and MMC who struggled to understand each other but ultimately grow and change for the better.
