Booklist Issue: December 1, 2009 The literary grandchildren of Richard Adamsrs" Watership Down (1974) proliferate in this complex and nuanced talking-animal adventure. Laskyrs"s descriptions of a newborn wolf puprs"s craving for light, milk, and meat are wonders of sensory economy-immediately yours"re invested in his struggle. But wolf custom decrees that he be abandoned to die because of a deformed paw. A childless bear named Thunderheart finds the pup, names him Faolan, and under her guidance he grows to be unusually strong and savvy. Then a tragic event compels him to seek out his own kind. This is a soulful, searching read consumed with the spiritual journeys of animals and the ethereal connection between slayer and slain. At times it becomes mired in mythos, but when the story lets loose, it pays off, as when Faolan encounters a metalsmithing owl (with connections to Laskyrs"s Guardians of Gars"hoole series), who rights the wolfrs"s crooked path. A sedate start to the Wolves of the Beyond series, perhaps, but with an invigorating ending that bodes well for the next volume. -Daniel Kraus, Booklist – Issue: December 1, 2009 The literary grandchildren of Richard Adams’ Watership Down (1974) proliferate in this complex and nuanced talking-animal adventure. Lasky’s descriptions of a newborn wolf pup’s craving for light, milk, and meat are wonders of sensory economy-immediately you’re invested in his struggle. But wolf custom decrees that he be abandoned to die because of a deformed paw.

At times it becomes mired in mythos, but when the story lets loose, it pays off, as when Faolan encounters a metalsmithing owl (with connections to Lasky’s Guardians of Ga’hoole series), who rights the wolf’s crooked path. A sedate start to the Wolves of the Beyond series, perhaps, but with an invigorating ending that bodes well for the next volume. - Daniel Kraus, Kirkus Lasky spins off her popular Guardians of Ga’Hoole series into this enchanting first installment of a new series starring wolves, introducing a wolf pup raised by a grizzly bear. The pack casts Faolan, born with a defect in one paw, out to die, but a brokenhearted bear that has just lost her own cub finds him and can’t resist nursing him. Lasky merges anthropomorphic fantasy with realistic details about wolves and bears to produce an almost plausible emotional narrative, complete with dialogue and personalities. Thunderheart, Faolan’s “milk mother,� teaches him to dig and to hunt and explains the bear aspects of the spirit world. Eventually Faolan begins a journey taking him to a cave where he learns the history of the wolves, to a metal-working owl and finally to the wolf clan he will join, although not, perhaps, in the manner those wolves expect. The author builds a captivating world of forest, snow and volcanoes populated by intelligent animals and weaves a compelling story sure to bring readers back for the second installment., Booklist - Issue: December 1, 2009 The literary grandchildren of Richard Adams\u2019 Watership Down (1974) proliferate in this complex and nuanced talking-animal adventure.

  • Kinda boring book

    I didn't really like this one. It might be that Wolves of the Beyond are not even a little bit about wolves but instead are about human behaviors being exibited in an animal body. I guess I was just hoping it would be more like actual animal behavior with maybe a little educated guess as to why these animals might behave the way they do. Instead the wolves act like some rather unsavory peoples with very little morals and far too much human characteristics. I got bored really quickly. Maybe it was because the owls, the other series the author wrote about, were very similar to this bunch and that became kind of depressing too. I almost never say this but movie was better than the books and even so I hope they don't continue with a movie about the Wolves of the Beyond.
