I find myself having a hard time writing a review for For the Wolf. The book was fine. There wasn’t anything spectacularly new about it, but it also had solid writing and characters. While I do feel like the plot could have been flushed out a little bit more, the world-building mostly made up for it.  Basically, if you like young adult fantasy, you will enjoy this book. If you do not, you will probably find it ok. 

 

The thing that throws me off about For the Wolf is that it seems to be a YA book written for adults. I know a lot of adults still read YA, and that is great. But ultimately, the genre is written for young adults. This seemed to follow the formula for YA but wrote it with an adult audience in mind. It was disconcerting.
