If he had asked for her agreement, she might have said yes, and been forever after bound by her own word. They also encounter other travellers from the far south, on their own perilous journey, and, in due course, the Shadow Eaters themselves. Her escapades, alongside some unexpected but very welcome absorbing realism of the psychological truth of the nature of human and beast kept me glued to the book into the wee hours of the night.

However, I hope that the future books will have slightly better pacing and at least a small reduction in chase scenes. Northern Taiga is the coolest map, which I like, but why isn't there an environment detailed like that in The Wolf? The Tiger and the Wolf is a unique and powerful novel, where loyalties are defined by birth and where cultures clash with spectacular frequency. It is a fairly common magical system in fantasy, but like all things that Tchaikovsky infuses with his imagination, The Tiger and the Wolf manages to stand out from novels with similar premises by diving deep into the duality of man and beast and building a world that is awe-inspiring to explore.The plot starts out pretty slow and builds up so that the second half of the book has much more action than the first.
