#steele wolf

I'm on the 3rd book, a little over halfway through, and so far every guess I've had about who the various major traitors are have been correct, whether it be guesses as soon as I meet the characters or shortly after an incident happens and I not only guess how, but also who would be able to do it.

I've had a guess on who the Raven might be since book one, and i'm excitedly waiting for whether it will really be who I think. If it is, I will probably be both happy and disappointed, because I've been having difficulties finding good books, movies, and TV shows that have been able to catch me off guard more than once or twice in the series, especially when it comes to ot twists including the big bad being someone close to the protagonist.

Steele Wolf was so much better than the first book in the series. It only took me two hours to read, I devoured it so fast!

There was much more characterization put into this book. I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized that. Even characters that aren't around for the entire story (Thalia's father, the rest of their clan, the people in Skyfell) are described more than any of the main characters were in the first book. It was nice to see improvement there.

We were also finally allowed to see the main characters' histories. Thalia regains her memory, we learn more about Kael, and we find out that Joss actually has a family. There's also finally an explanation of who the villains are, what they're are doing to the people they kidnap, and why Kael seems to be stalking Thalia.

Skyfell was a fun city. I loved the fun descriptions of the city and its transportation.

Now, if only that obnoxious love triangle would end! (I may be a bit biased in this case, though. I'm totally rooting for Kael.)
