4.0 out of 5 stars OVERALL SCORE: (B-), Mar 22 2004
'Black Wolf' is the follow-up to the short story in the "Sembia - Halls of Stormweather" anthology. It centers on Talbot, the youngest and somewhat estranged son of a noble family who has recently become a werewolf, and the two strange concurrent plots about why he was infected with lycanthrope. The plot regarding the 'weird vampire thing' was somewhat disappointing, hard to follow and boring. The plot regarding Rusk and the God Malar, was by far the more interesting part of the story, and the book would have been much better if it would have only had this plotline.

OVERALL SCORE: (B-)
READABILITY: (B-), PLOT: (B-), CHARATERS: (B-), DIALOGUE: (B-), SETTING: (B+), ACTION/COMBAT: (A-), MONSTERS/ANTAGONISTS: (C+), ROMANCE: (C), SEX: (n/a), AGE LEVEL: (PG)

5.0 out of 5 stars A great intro to the forgotten realms, Sep 5 2003
By A Customer
I found this book highly entertaining and very well written. That being said this book is responsible for my now intense intrest in the forgotten realms books and video games (Much to my wifes displesure) my nose is always in a book now, i've finished twelve books since i read this book with another 5 on their way. they have enriched my life in a way i never thought possible. Thats why i love this book so much it has changed my fiction heros from spidey and captain america to Drizzt and Talbot BUY IT

4.0 out of 5 stars A great Wolf Book!, Jan 17 2003
By Carrie Johnson (eastliverpool, ohio United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The only reason that this book gets 4 stars rather thatn 5 is beacause it really doesn't focus on Talbot, the hero, as much as it should have. Otherwise, that is the only flaw.

This book gives some really good insight into the god Malar, even though he never appears. If you have read Jewels of the Turmish (if not please don't) Malar is quite poorly portrayed. In JotT he creates undead to fight his battles, which is hard to swallow since he is a god of the forest/hunt. Werewolves really fit well into hius philosophies and for the first time I think Dave Gross nailed this semi-evil god right on. The goddess Selune is also discussed, but not quite as much, but enough to get an idea of her powers in the realms.

There is some great characterization, the villains are excellent and the poor schmoe Darrow is the perfect anitithesis to Talbot. The secondary characters are engaging (notably Quickly and the High Cleric of Selune) as well. I hope Gross will crank out another gem like this soon. This is the first Sembia book I have read, and I will make certain to read the others.
