Book Review: Seeing Red by Ethan Summers and Littlesprout's Stories (Legends of Blood #1)

With Wolf Quest having been out for ages and how creative its community can be, I'm surprised it took this long for someone (or rather, two someones) to write a book based on its storyline and gameplay! Presuming that Seeing Red is the first, that is.

For those not in the know, Wolf Quest is a game where one plays as a dispersal wolf in Yellowstone and completes various goals, such as hunting elk, seeking a mate and establishing a pack. The first edition of the game from years ago was free, but in more recent years it has gotten a big overhaul, leading to a brand new pay-to-play polished version of the game. I myself do own both versions, however unfortunately my computer simply cannot handle the Anniversary Edition even at the lowest graphics and framerate, so I am mostly just stuck watching other people play the game. It definitely looks great, though!

So let's take a look at the journey of such one wolf and her quest, based on the gameplay on Littlesprout's YouTube channel. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Sight by David Clement-Davies (The Sight #1)

 

I actually have a history with this book. Back in the day, I used to loathe this one, together with the Wolves of the Beyond series. Nowadays I'm more open-minded and of course open to re-visiting books I preciously had beef with. 

I recently took a look at Wolves of the Beyond again and while I still don't feel right calling the series good (it's not), it's nowhere near as bad as I made it out to be in the past. So let's see how The Sight does upon a re-read. It has one thing going for it: I do really love Clemen-Davies' earlier, work, Fire Bringer. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Raveleijn by Paul van Loon (Raveleijn #1)

 

Note: The title of this book has been translated into English by me for the reading comprehension of this blog's viewers as the book itself isn't available in English (yet).

So I'm a huge fan of the Efteling, a fantasy-themed Dutch amusement park. I've been there tons of times and can never get enough of it. Most of their rides are based on either a pre-existing or a made-up fantasy/fairy tale/folklore story. I've taken a look at Baron 1898 before, a book based on the eponymous roller coaster. Raveleijn here is based on a park show rather than a ride, but I still enjoyed the story a lot when I saw the TV series and of course the show itself, though the show in the park itself has been altered quite a few times. 

So let's dive into the book version of the original story! Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Kävik the Wolf Dog by Walt Morey

This book has been on my to-read for way too long now, so let's finally get to it! It's yet another wolfdog xenofiction where the animal doesn't talk. Spoilers ahead!
