This was an interesting tale - told mostly from one wolf-mix's P.O.V. Being an older book, its look into how wolf packs operate was a bit dated. New research has emerged after this book's 1978 publication. Still, it was pretty exciting and Courtrand was certainly a sympathetic anti-hero. Other books like Dorothy Hearst's _Promise of the Wolves_ and David Clement-Davies' _The Sight_ did a better, more entertaining and education job with the same subject matter, though the medieval setting was unique, and well-researched. I enjoyed this, but just didn't really love it. I was mostly annoyed at how this story could have been told in a better, and more thrilling, way.
