This one reads a lot slower until the end of the book again where so much happens in the last 140 pages that it feels rushed and some things glazed over after 2 books of build up (not sure if this trilogy is done yet). Overall the trilogy as a set is great, a bit plodding in parts but the characters make up for it. I grew to enjoy the wolf a bit more in this book. It left me wanting to know more about the wit and skilling so perhaps that will be in another book. Solid 3 stars for the series. Recommended for adventure and fantasy readers who like to dive into other realms when they read.
