Any dedicated fantasy reader is familiar with the Bonded to Such and Such Animal Genre...Mostly overdone at this point, usuauly shrug inducing if you aren't 13 since they focus on very whit/black morality or some young person working their way through a horrid childhood and being rewarded with the honor of bonding.
As I said, great when you're a disenfranchised white knight in training.
Companion surprised me, the writing style was similar to George R.R. Martin in it's spare prose style, very few wasted words or descriptions...Once I got into the writing style I realized that if the authors paused to describe anything I'd better pay attention. The two female authors also did a bang up impressive job of having realistic martial male sexuality, lupine social status plays and how a combination of the two might actually work. Kudos also to them having the ballss to not give the wolves human thought, it's all empathy and smells.
The world they set up is based on Dark Ages Norse culture, well done and even includes the Jogun(ice giants) of norse mythololgy.
A free book I was happy with.
