A review by mjporterauthor
Wolf Of The Plains by Conn Iggulden

4.0

I found this book to be initially intriguing, and then quite boring, before picking up again at the end. The biggest problem with the book is that I felt no connection with any of the characters. The 'cold faces' that they all employ, according to the author, reverberated far too well into the author's portrayal of the characters and denied me from connecting with any of the characters. Its meandering nature also left me unsure what the author was trying to accomplish. Perhaps I should have read the 'blurb' a bit more carefully.
I did end up enjoying the majority of the book, although perhaps more because I've been watching Marco Polo on Netflix, and I could envisage the scenery more vividly because of that.
