Summary: Just as good as the first
Comment: Often sequels aren't as good as the first in a series, but Wolf's Head, Wolf's Heart is just as much of a page turner as Through Wolf's Eyes. It can be read as a standalone novel -- enough information is given so that new readers can figure out who is who -- but because it begins a few months after Through Wolf's Eyes ends, it is hard to write a detailed review without spoiling both books.
Head/Heart is, technically, a quest story; a group of people are tasked to go somewhere and do something. What makes this book stand out is how that basic concept becomes a the foundation to a tightly woven web of political intrigue spanning four kingdoms.
We meet again all the main players from the first book - Firekeeper, the woman raised by wolves; Derian, the man with the unenviable task of civilizing her; Elise Archer, trying to find her place as a future baroness; Melina Shield, the woman who will sacrifice anything for personal power; her daughter Sapphire, who seeks power of her own; a multitude of Kings and Queens, and more. We are also introduced to several new characters and a new society that was only hinted at previously.
This might be set in a fantasy medieval world and it might star a half-feral woman, but I guarantee you that this book has all the plots, counter-plots, alliances, betrayals, and fast-paced action as any adventure movie or spy novel. I wasn't able to put it down.

Summary: Fantastic Fantasy Novel
Comment: I first heard of the author Jane Lindskold when I came across her first novel in this universe, Through Wolves Eyes, at a science fiction convention last year.
I fell in love with her main characters, Firekeeper, a human girl raised as a wolf, and her pack mate, the wolf Blind Seer. I was ecstatic when I found out that a sequel was in the works. I just finished Wolf's Head, Wolf's Heart, and it was even better than the first book in the series.
The author does a wonderful job with her human and animal characters, and weaves a story that you can't put down until it's finished. I am always sad to have such a wonderful book end, and I anxiously await the next book in this series.
If you like Fantasy, and are an animal lover, this book and the first are for you!

Summary: Wolf's Head, Wolf's Heart
Comment: I was drawn to the first book because I had a long train ride and nothing to do and I happened to enjoy it. This one on the other hand...was disappointing. I usually enjoy long books but this one was stretched too thin. The plot was never ending. I found myself skipping to parts about Firekeeper, (the book is about her right), but she wasn't the main focus very often. Also she doesn't seem to be getting anywhere with language or knowledge. In all the book was never ending and I only finished in case something important happened in the end, which it didn't. I thought the next one in the series would be better but there doesn't seem much hope for that. So, sorry Ms. Lindskold but you are off my authors to go out and by list!
