White Wolves Chapter v17 Discussion

To be honest, I have to say that I really love this novel. I don't find any issues in the pacing like the first or consider this a wacky Looney Tunes cartoons like second. In fact I find the pacing and reasoning of the novel to be quite solid. As most of it is explained in novel and with the pacing cutting away from anything sidelining the plot.

But, I wouldn't really just give it five stars for just that since well that's only two parts of what makes a story great and I'd be a fool to say otherwise. But, the other part done well is character motivation.... no character choice in the story. This story doesn't force our young lad on a adventure through the same old knights burning down his village or forceful enlistment. No, the man throws himself up onto the dining table despite the warnings of his village.

And, you find in this novel while he doesn't make all the calls. He often makes the important ones. With each event developing his insight and resourcefulness towards what he probably going to end up as what the title states a white wolf.

But, if you read this review far you probably read the second review too. And, I admit there are some spots that could use more polishing such as mention of the bard's removal in the second review. As this time it wasn't because of the character actions or choices but because of fate it happened. Of course I know the reason for it. You gotta move the plot somewhere and ending it all in a return back to town doesn't exactly sound appealing.

But, I feel the character growth and development of Cassel more then makes up for it. So many times I read the chapter to find myself smiling on how far he gotten or find myself wondering why I care for these group of characters.

And, I do hope you try this novel for yourself. Even though it's probably dropped, I'm still going to recommend it since it's a wonderful tale one must share with others. And, if those translating it read this, just know that I give my heartfelt thanks to you guys for bringing this novel into my life. It's been one of my long time favorites for a while and I do hope you plan on continuing it. As a story I can come back home to read again is quite a rarity in my life.
