A review by caszriel
Lone Wolf by Gregg Hurwitz

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

5.0

Initial thoughts: Definitely one of the best ones yet. The character development in each book and across the series in general is incredible. I can't wait for the next installment.
————————————————————
I’ve been following this series for over five years now, ever since I picked up the audiobook of Orphan X on a whim, and let me tell you, it never gets old. The character growth book to book is insane, Gregg Hurwitz somehow manages to maintain consistency and authenticity while making sure it’s never a boring ride.

Lone Wolf feels like the most ambitious book out of the recent installments, a real deep-dive into the human side of Evan. The mission in this book is everything he’s shied away from in the past, and very much personal; in spite of it appearing quite domestic on the surface level, the subplots add depth and intrigue to the story.

Something else that’s been getting better and better throughout the course of this series is the cast of characters Evan comes to rely on, even if he insists he’s a lone wolf (pun intended). If Joey wasn’t already one of my favorite characters, she’s definitely become one. Luke Devine’s involvement in this book was a funny and well-received addition.

Reading the latest Orphan X novel has been a highlight for many years now, and I hope it’s something I can look forward to for several more at least. I can’t wait to see where Gregg Hurwitz takes Evan next, especially with that ending.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for providing me with a review copy.
