Kuuluu näihin sarjoihinThe Wolfkin Saga (1)
An ancient civilization long hidden from humanity is on the brink of chaos and war. Peaceful for thousands of years, the wolfkin clans are mysteriously losing packmates, kidnapped and killed by unknown foes.The nightmare begins with an ambush by humans at a gathering of their kind, and lives are lost. Among them is Luca, youngest grandson of the two most powerful wolves in the Northern Clans. Thought long dead and gone, he is forced into a half-life, hidden in the far northern wilds of Canada and cut off from his kind. Those who raised him have no idea the creature they harbor in their midst, and name him Ghost. He begins to lose himself over the long years, and though he barely recalls his true name, the one wolf he never forgets is Kane.Kane, Heir to the wolfkin clan Black Pine, is charged with hunting down the traitors who betrayed their kind to the humans. Years fly by, and more wolves are dying. He refuses to give up, and he vows to never again fail another of their kind, as he failed young Luca years before. His heart tells him Luca lives, but his mind tells him that it's foolish hope, his guilt eating him alive.Fate and magic change the course of their lives, and the two wolves long separated by the years find their paths intertwining. Though the gift of their reunion doesn't come without price. Faced by the consequences of their growing love, and the goddess-forged bond between them, Kane and Ghost are besieged on all sides. Enemies are coming for their blood, and without the steadfast loyalty and love of family and friends, they may not be safe from the very people they fight to protect.

‘Saga’ is an apt word to describe this book. It is long and intense. I read this over several sittings. It was always interesting but there were times that it almost flatlined. I kept going because of the high ratings by so many Goodreads reviewers. I’m glad I did.
There are so many storylines within this saga. The ones which made Wolves of Black Pine unique revolved around Ghost/Luca. Wolfkin raised by humans - perfect for anyone who philosophises about anthropomorphism. Then there is the subsequent story of Ghost’s adjustment to life on two legs - a blurter in both words and actions.
Ordinarily this would be a five star read for me. My ability to put it down on multiple occasions suggests that it just wasn’t quite awesome enough for that. It was awesome but maybe more like awesome lite. ( )
