Summary: Waste of Time
Comment: I simply cannot accurately say how terrible this book is. I am a big fan of the Werewolf: The Apocalypse/Rage franchise and I have read 4 books previous to this but I am sorry to say this one is bad, bad, bad.
It's like the author knew loads about the World of Darkness and went into crazy, over-description on this to make up for the fact that there is simply no story or decent dialogue. I am surprised I even managed to make this much out as it is so badly written little sense can be made from every single page.
No plot or story really kicked in at all. If you have read the 'When Will You Rage' book you will be able to understand how good short stories with likeable characters work. None of that is present here. It's simply an absolute mess. I was considering reading the rest of the books in this series but now I will really have to reconsider if this is the going to be the typical standard.
If you like this franchise then read 'The Silver Crown' or 'Breathe Deeply' for cool Rage stories.

Summary: Finally!
Comment: At long last! Finally some WtA writing. I have been starving for some decent fiction since Call to Battle, Silver Crown and Breathe Deeply. Although I am not much of a shadow lord fan it was good writing, and I really liked the Get of Fenris. Can't wait to see what the next books will be like.

Summary: Mixed Blessing
Comment: Eric Griffin did a great job on the Get of Fenris. Gherbod Fleming MUST BE STOPPED before he writes again--unfortunately he's scheduled to do Wendigo *and* Uktena. Once again, the American Indians suffer. But the Silver Fangs get him too, so it's not a culture-bias.
I enjoyed GOF tribe novel--it was witty, fast-paced, occasionally thoughtful, and once or twice laugh-out-loud funny. Some of White Wolf's best fiction!
Gherbod Fleming, unfortunately, writes like a high school creative writing student--dull and uninteresting, thick with adjectives and cliche'd phrases, painfully pretentious and charmed with his own style--bleah. What more can I say than "Mountain-like in their midst was Dawntreader, his platinum hair reflecting the red flames, whipping hither and yon as he danced" (p35)?
If anybody can figure out a way to give White Wolf money for Get of Fenris and *not* for Shadow Lords, drop me an e-mail. The pattern persists in Silent Striders/Black Furies.
