Anyway, I think my point of this rant is, go team Ren. He has flaws to, but they aren’t in relation to how he treats Calla. In every interaction, he pushes for sex.Īnd then you have Ren who is loyal, unselfish, and protective without being overbearing.He encourages other girls to flirt with him, maintaining that oblivious “I didn’t know what was going on” facade.He doesn’t let her be independent and beats her up (figuratively) every time she tries to do anything on her own.I keep getting the impression that he’d be appropriately bummed if something happened to her, but clearly not enough to help prevent harm. He has little regard for Calla’s safety.In this case, however, I CANNOT STAND SHAY. Okay, now for some boy talk: in most teen series, I find both options in a love triangle fairly equally appealing (say, 60/40). Cool, right? But we really didn’t get to see more than a surface-level description of this place – I want to experience SO MUCH MORE!!! So hopefully (fingers crossed) the prequel series expands on it, otherwise what an opportunity wasted. I LOVED all the settings and stories involving the Searchers – they live in a glamorous academy/training facility where they learn how to use magic and fight (O_o!). While Nightshade focused on the Guardians (the werewolves) and the Keepers (the authoritative magic-users), Wolfsbane dealt more with the Searchers (the anti-Keepers, for lack of a better description). There were only a couple of places where I thought the dialogue might be trying too hard, but they were few and far between. All the characters are interesting and well-rounded on their own, but the real brilliance is how they interact and build off of one another – the dynamics are a blast to read. This series is great because it gives equal attention to being both plot and character driven. I got the impression that Cremer had a lot of fun creating them. The biggest take away from this book were the characters. Anyway, I’m glad to finally be continuing on because it’s a fun series with memorable characters, a cool concept, and great writing.
So I reread the first book in 2014… then never got back to it again(:/). I’d always had the best intentions to continue on, but before I knew it the entire 6 book saga had been written and I’d gone from way ahead to laughably behind. I read Nightshade as an ARC back before it was released in 2012 (and loved it).
Is Ren worth the price of her freedom? And will Shay stand by her side no matter what? Now in control of her own destiny, Calla must decide which battles are worth fighting and how many trials true love can endure and still survive. But then the Searchers make her an offer–one that gives her the chance to destroy her former masters and save the pack–and the man–she left behind. The Overview: Calla Tor wakes up in the lair of the Searchers, her sworn enemy, and she’s certain her days are numbered.
