Narrative Concering Books Weregild (Wolf's-own #2)
Book 2 of Wolf's-own The amorality of gods makes it hard to tell bad from good and right from wrong. Fen Jacin-rei doesn't care. All Fen cares about is saving his family, and he'll sacrifice anything that gets in his way. Including his own soul. No longer willing to wait for the machinations of the gods' minions, Fen accepts the trade Kamen Malick offers. Together they set out to rescue Fen's family and kill the man who betrayed them. But Fen is an Untouchable, one whose mind hosts the spirits of long-dead magicians, and with Voices of the Ancestors screaming in his head, Fen finds it harder and harder to stave off madness. Malick has his own reasons to hand over everything Fen wants and equally compelling reasons to withhold everything Fen needs. In over his head with his timing as bad as ever, Malick must devise a way to do his god's bidding without breaking his god's laws-and keep Fen sane and on Malick's side in the bargain.Rating Of Books Weregild (Wolf's-own #2)

There is so much more suspense in this story than in the previous one and we see the emotions flow more freely between all the characters. So many dangerous things happen within this story from injuries to sickness to ambushes to losses, it truly left me on the edge of
This second book is very much like the first in tone and feel, making for good series cohesion. The epic fantasy continues: we find out more details about this world and its rules, the various gods who seem to fight over what goes on and the ancestral spirits who were just as annoying (to me) as in the first volume. The language is sweeping, and things happen slightly more quickly, but, to my dismay, much of what goes on is still internal with lots of confusing flashbacks.I had less trouble with
Carole Cummings writes one hell of a story. Faster paced and more action filled than the first installment, now that introductions are out of the way and the reader is familiar with the world Fen Jacin and Malick live in, the story really takes off. Weregild is part of a grand, sweeping epic, the kind I fell in love with in my teens, filled with wonderfully nuanced characters, who aren't perfect, have moments when they're more likeable that others, but in the end, they steal your heart. All are
So I would give this 3.5 stars. I liked it but there was sooo much talk and discussing emotions... and not enough action.(view spoiler)[I did not like that Umeia made a deal with Asai. And it pissed me off even more that I got the impression, the author was trying to justify her decisions and make her less hated. When I simply stopped caring about her. Frankly, there was a point where I didn't care all that much about any character. There were so many words used to describe a simple
I'm not sure how I feel about this book - I go off and on it, and it took me a while to pin down what really made me feel a bit uncertain about it. The plot was just so convoluted and unnecessarily complicated, that when a big dramatic scene happened (like that one between Malick and Umeia) I wasn't invested in it; I felt no emotional twist, because I didn't really understand what was going on and how they'd made these jumps. And I love twists and turns I don't see coming, but a lot of these
Yep, one day I'll write a bunch of glorious death and misery like Carole! One day!!
