tinyshinycello 's review for:
Fell
by David Clement-Davies
This continuation of [b:The Sight|58085|The Sight (Sight, #1)|David Clement-Davies|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388297746s/58085.jpg|56563] takes place many years later after the events of the first book. This story follows Fell, now an old wolf, on his journey to help a human girl, Alina.
Unlike The Sight, there are a lot of human-world perspectives and plot lines in this book. This book also felt really cinematic and dramatic in comparison. There were so many well-written scenes and locations and everything in this book I had no trouble picturing IMAX quality scenes.
I guess my biggest complaint is that we don't see a lot of the Wolf-world this time around. Fell as the main character was WAY more likeable and awesome than Larka was in the last book and I enjoyed every chapter about him. I was glad to see some more of the old wolf friends of the last book show up briefly in this book. However, they didn't really play much of a crucial role and the wolf family subplot felt a little out of place at times. I was also a little disappointed that the same villain, Morgra, returns as a villain in this book as well. Even though she's...dead. But she gets a much more satisfying ending this time around.
As for the human part of this book, Alina is awesome and takes on the typical Hero role. It's fun to see her love interest as the "damsel in distress" because she can fight better than him. Ha. But yeah, there's a definite vibe of "women can be strong warriors too" going on. But who doesn't want to be the warrior woman with a wolf at her side? I also appreciated that since this series takes place in Transylvania during the time of Vlad the Impaler...Clement-Davies decided to finally add direct references to him this time around.
In all, I really didn't think I would like this book as much as I did until the last third of the book. That's when the pace really picks up and you see plots collide and everything makes sense I guess. Very much less focused on wolves this time though, but a great, great story nevertheless.
