A review by hawthornbooks
Claimed By The Wolf Lord by Skye Wilson
2.0
I enjoyed Skye Wilson's writing so much I had to read another of her series. I literally binge read this trilogy so I honestly can't really remember where one book ends and the next begins so this will be my review of all. Did this need to be three books, 900 pages total? No. But did I still enjoy reading them, yeah!
They were fun, the characters were easily likeable and noone really felt too useless to the plot. Although the characters added in the later books did feel flatter and shoved in, (mainly liana) Was it slightly predictable that everyone ended up with someone in the close circle, yes but I wasn't too mad about it. As mentioned, this could have been shorter, the second book especially had a lot of what felt like unnecessary events in it, that could have been cut out or sped over. Same in the last book. I did find myself wanting for a resolution by the end as it felt it was dragged out a lot.
I did love the romance and I appreciated how it was slowly built up, none of the insta-love mate stuff. I also loved that they argued and then actually resolved it like adults having a mature conversation.
I wish we found out more about her dad. It also felt like it leant a lot into the witch part of her and nothing into the other part, or ever really explained how she was that or why it mattered. It literally had no impact on the plot.
Book one was my favourite as it had the best pacing and made me love the characters, and intrigued to read on. Two was the typical lul you get in mid-series books, but not bad by any means. By three, I was too many pages deep to give up and I wanted a resolution so read on, but really didn't live up to the first in the series
