A review by bozzi1
The Wolf's Hour by Robert R. McCammon

adventurous dark funny mysterious tense fast-paced

5.0

🚨 New Favorite Book of 2023 🚨

Listen y’all, Boy’s Life is one of the best books I read in 2021 and Swan Song is one of the best books I read in 2022. Gone South is great. My point is, Robert McCammon is a fricking genius. If you haven’t picked up something by him yet, please do! And while you may see or hear more about the books already mentioned, I can’t recommend The Wolf’s Hour enough. 

*Super brief, spoiler free review*

Love and war, Nazis and werewolves, a death train-this book has everything I didn’t know I needed. The writing style, the alternating timeline, the characters, and the settings-my god, the settings-are absolutely incredible. It’s a beast of a book at around 700 pages, but I never wanted it to end. 

Boy’s Life and Swan Song may be the superior works of literature, but The Wolf’s Hour is the most fun I’ve had reading McCammon. 

Did I mention the DEATH TRAIN?!? 💀🚂
