Review of 'The wolf' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
The setting is that of an alternative medieval Europe in which more than one race of man exists, with both significant physical and cultural differences. And this is the story of what happens when they clash. There is some political intrigue here, but it's downplayed next to the real guts of the story, that of military strategy. You'll also find a touch of philosophical exploration, most of which struck me as very stoic. There is no magic systems or other typical fantasy elements, but I found that ok here and I enjoyed the bigger focus on the military battles and strategic mechanics.
Overall, I would recommend it for anyone who really likes military fantasy. I will look forward to the next book in the series as it left a decent cliffhanger at the end.
