A review by carosbcher
Wolfsbane by Patricia Briggs
4.0
Even though this is the second part of a series around the shapeshifter Aralorn (yes, she can be a little mouse, a poisonous icelynx, or simply put on different faces) I enjoyed reading this book a lot without knowing the first part...it just made me eager to get my hands on more stories set in this fantastic world and starring this sympathetic young woman.
Aralorn comes home after bring absent for ten long years. The only reason for her return is the funeral of her father...but then everything changes, nothing is as it seems and magic drops thickly from the walls of the wintery castle...
The combination of a snowy world, fantastic creatures, magic, and a mystery to be solved was just wonderful to read, the intrigues packed with spells and dark forces were thrilling and the characters lively, the two main protagonists very sympathetic. Sometimes the love story was slightly over the top but as it never was in the focus for long it was not annoying. But the cover...ugh!
