Now with all of that being said I have to say that Wolfsbane fell a little flat for me. Maybe my expectations were too high after Cremer's wonderful debut. Maybe it was just my mood. It could be any number of things, but I definitely didn't like this one as much as the first. Don't get me wrong, I did like it. I was just expecting a 5 star book...I gave it 3.
Wolfsbane picks up right where Nightshade left off. Calla is in a completely different world than the one she has always known, and I think this is what caused the most problems for me. There is a lot of information to get across to the reader. A lot. To me it seemed like that kind of bogged down the plot. Where Nightshade was action packed, nothing much really happens in this one.
All the things I really loved about the first book were...gone. The mythology, the tension between Calla, Shay and Ren. The romance was still there, but it wasn't as strong or as big of a plot element as it was in Nightshade. There were also some new characters introduced that I didn't care for. There constant bickering and jokes made things move slower than I wanted them to.
