I love going into books without knowing without a synopsis, but I know that a lot of people do not feel the same. The Wolf’s Curse book follows a boy named Gauge who is a Voyant, or outcast, in the town that he lives in with his grandfather. Gauge is able to see the Great White Wolf, which no one else can see, causing the villagers to be afraid of what Gauge can do. Once Gauge’s grandfather dies, the adventure begins. I was surprised to see that the book was simultaneously in first and third person as the Wolf is telling the story of Gauge while also telling her own story. I loved that she could hear and understand everything that was going on in the character’s heads and how she didn’t interfere with what was going in in Gauge’s life. She allowed him to figure things out on her own and was able to learn a thing or two from him that she hadn’t learned in the 700 winters since she became the wolf. There were so many surprises in the book that it kept me interested and I ended up falling in love with this book.
