reviewed Wolves of the Dawn on April 26, 2017 Wolves of the Dawn
I very much enjoyed reading this novel! It was strangely calming to become engaged in the lives stone age clan culture. I loved the main character, Baylor, the first-born son of the chieftain. He is in constant conflict over adoration of his father, and his rebellion of too many laws and customs of the clan.
There were many scenes of love, hate, jealousy and betrayal that kept me reading on to find our "what is going to happen next?" The characters were well developed with the complexities of good & evil. The ending was generally predictable, but it still held surprises. I wish there were a sequel as some questions we are left to ponder.
The authors notes at the end of the book says the novel was drawn from lore and prehistory of Ireland, Scandinavia and British Isles. He states that Balor was a real man as are Stonehenge and the Viking raids. Who is to deny the power of prophecy, destiny and the Mighty One? For a fiction novel written 30 years ago, it taught me a lot.
