Product Description
From Library Journal
Fleeing from those who would destroy him for his shapeshifting nature, Kern Kindregan finds a home and security with the gentle folk of a wayside inn until a harper with malice in his song and hatred for "werewolves" in his heart shatters Kern's fragile peace. The author's skill at reshaping old themes into new forms makes his latest novel a good choice for fantasy collections. JC

Review
"[This is] a prose ballad with lyrical grace, and readers will gladly pass their time by the fire as the harper strums landscapes and characters from his strings and spins the tale."-Rambles

great,

This review is from: Wolf Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
this novel was well put together, i quite enjoy this author. so far everything i've read by him (to date probably 3 books including this one... but still) has been well written. he seems to know what words to use to best capture a feeling or mood or set the tone. characterization is also very well done.this book is about a were wolf who comes across an inn and falls in love with a woman there and her family and tries to set up something of a life with them, but he has this evil magician on his tail who wants to kill him. the time in which the book took place has a kind of a solemn almost medieval mood too it, not with the knights n such, but the way in which the characters speak and the setting, it all has a 'back then' feel to it. so he tries to set up this life and it gets to be near perfect, which he longs for because in his past he hasn't been accepted by neither humans nor wolves because of what he is. but here he has finally found a place where people accept him. then he goes to this party where the evil magician/ harper is and the harper moves in on his new found happiness. i wish the author would have went into a bit more detail when concerning the actions of people not narrating, because i guess it's too much like real life where we have to assume inner turmoil and motivation behind their actions, but besides this criticism this book was pretty good. even as i noted this i still very much enjoyed the story, only after i've finished do criticisms pop into my head, when i'm no longer under the author's spell :P a decent read on werewolves. there is a bit of romance, but it isn't the focus of the story. it's more about the werewolf himself and his struggle to find a place for himself in the world. it's a pretty good one.

An Excellent Read,
By Pepper (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wolf Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and was disappointed when I finished it. I wish the author had written more or added a sequel, I'm sure it would have been just as wonderful and I look forward to reading more of his work.

The best fictional book I've ever read,
By Christopher Tabbanor (Bronx, New York USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wolf Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
Wolf Moon was the best inspirational story I've ever read. This was my first time reading one of Charles De Lint's books and it won't be the last. Charles De Lint created a work of art.The dark setting was suited for the werewolf setting.The way that Charles De Lint incorparated a love story in such a dark setting was amazing. I think there were too many good people who died in this book There was a couple of parts that started to drag but overall is was an excellent book.
