My Thoughts:
Cover/Title: The cover doesn't give much of the story away. The title doesn't really give the reader much insight into the story either.Characters: I really enjoyed the characters even though you don't get much background info. I definitely would have liked more background but the story stood well on its own. The story seemed to center more on the spellcasters and the lycans were more of an afterthought.
Plot: It is definitely an interesting start to the series. I am intrigued about the spellcasters and what they can do. I wish the Lycans had a little more to do with the plot. John is really the only lycan in story with a brief appearance from a few others.
Overall: I was pleasantly surprised with this book. I really enjoyed the new view of lycans and their spellcasters. I am definitely looking forward to reading more about them.
