Monday Book Review



Wolfsbane ~ Andrea Cremer

This book is a sequel to the book Nightshade which I talked about  in this post.  I just had to know what happened to Calla and friends!  I am not one to let a story stay unfinished, it drives me crazy if I don't know how a story ends.  I didn't realize until about halfway through this book though that it was a trilogy and I had to wait for another book.  So the whole time I kept thinking, there is no way they are going to wrap this all up in 200 pages, 150 pages, 100 pages.  I did want to "google" Wolfsbane in fear that I would read spoilers. 


I found this book told a lot about the 'ligistics' of the sci-fi side of the story and didn't have a lot of Calla's story.  I wanted more Shay and more Ren conflict.  I wanted more action.  This book had a lot more back story and introduced a whole new string of characters, mostly searchers, and even had some killed off too. 

Wolfsbane is a good book, not great but still worthy of reading.  I was just expecting more from this book which was supplied in the first one.  I am hoping the third one, Bloodrose, does not let me down but I'll have to wait until January to find that out.

Overall I would give this book a 7.5 out of 10 because it still had all the great characters from the first book but just lacked the action and speed of the first one.
