Brianna’s Reviews > Lone Wolf > Status Update

I was worried nostalgia was doing the heavy lifting but this book has stood the test of time. Lone Wolf is a simple read but just because it was written for a younger audience doesn’t mean it can’t still be a deeply emotional and complex story. Technically, this book is meant for 8-12 year olds but I believe a children’s book should be enjoyable for adults as well-they deserve compelling, well written stories.

I’ve read this book multiple times now but I still get emotional every time. *Spoilers* Morag finding Thunderheart and the honor she gives the bear for saving Faolan gives me goosebumps. I absolutely adore the writing- it may be “for kids” and written relatively simply but it conveys the weight of emotions and heaviness of its topics so beautifully.

Totally forgot to log this lol. I finished this at the beginning of December. Truly forgot how much I LOVED these books!! I’m so glad I wasn’t remembering them through nostalgia tinted glasses, and that this was an actually enjoyable read. The world building is phenomenal and I love everything about the characters! 10/10

I read this series way back in elementary school and I was a little scared nostalgia was making it seem better than it was. Thankfully, I was wrong. The writing is simple was but still gorgeous and moving. I feel like I’m right there with Faolan.
