Ah, Alabaster Wolves... So much
potential, so much disappointment and yet so much hope. First off, I
really like this series. It has a dash of myth and legends
interspersed with a lot of interesting characters. On the downside we
are dealing with a primarily Christian mythos here. Our heroine has a
guardian angel, and I dont mean that in a metaphorical sense. She
literally has an angel watching her back. Talk about real firepower.
As for the heroine herself well she
manages to hold her own. A cheeky albino brat out hitch-hiking
through the wilderness with a bird to keep her company and a kitchen
knife to serve as a weapon. Not good odds I know, even with an angel
watching your back. But she survives, rolling on from one near
disaster to another near death experience. Monsters and ghouls are
thick in this book, werewolves prowl the shadows. And the old rules
of riddling are still held sacred.
