review 1: Well this is a must read book if you're into the whole Pathfinder deal, this marks the standard to which all other authors in the book must aim to. The story is great and the format is very likable. Its a story divided into two which end up being one of the most captivating high fantasy novels I have read. The two main characters are Count Varian Jaegare, a half-elf nobleman; and his faithful bodyguard Radovan Virholt, a tiefling that is on the verge of discovering the true nature of his heritage. The hook of the story is not the best one, but certainly one that makes you read at least the next chapter. The Count is a renown Venture-Captain Pathfinder, which is a society in search for knowledge. He is looking for his missing pathfinder which he has not heard of in a while.... more But just in a few pages the book transforms itself into a monster story with intrigue and wrapped in mystery.The book is written in first person, first by the Count which is "telling" the story to his missing pathfinder and then by Radovan, which mixes up in his own little story which little by little becomes as important as the other. Each chapter reveals more about whats really happening with both characters and how they decide to act upon this. We find in the pages devils, werewolves, fights, and ancient artifacts which may place a threat to their world. It's the best ending that I have read in a while.I recommend greatly this book for people in the hobby as well as readers that are interested in high fantasy. Otherwise it may proof very annoying going back and forth deciphering what does "egorian" and other nouns mean.
review 2: This was a surprisingly good book. Dave Gross has found the balance between staying true to the RPG world while managing to still write literature. His writing is beautiful and his characters absolutely brilliant; theis voices are distinctive and very realistic. Blending horror with humour and mystery worked wonders, as well as the little tricks employed by the writer to make the story appear more obscure and less linear. Overall, Prince of Wolves is a really good fantasy book which could be read by Pathfinder fans as well as pretty much anyone else and I'll definitely be reading more of the Jeggare & Radovan adventures in the future. less
