A review by meixiaotian
Diplomacy of Wolves by Holly Lisle
3.0
A few thoughts:
I like the worldbuilding and the characters. The worldbuilding especially; there’s a lot of details that aren’t important but are there anyway, giving the feeling of depth and a real world.
I’m not a huge fan of how some things or exposition suddenly Happen when relevant instead of being set up earlier.
The way the plot switches in the middle from being inter-Family politics & war to a quest for a magic artifact is a bit weird.
I’m not a fan of how every woman is Very Sexy and/or a victim of sexual assault, but it *was* written in the 90s.
It turned out to be less weird werewolf romance than I expected from the first few chapters, which I appreciate. Not sure if that element will come back in later books.
