| A review for my novel, "The Wolf''s Torment," by Judi Davis. June 2007. |
This past weekend I was taken away to Moldavia. The Wolf’s Torment had me from the beginning to the end. A book set in Romania in the 1800 during a time of political change. It is a region of the world still hanging on to old mystics. But wanting to merge with the modern world. With the taint of witches, gypsies, vampires and werewolves how do they over come.
Mihai, the hero, struggles with coming of age, becoming a husband, father and king. The prologue tell us of how he lost his mother and we learn from the very beginning how strong he is. We learn to love the man he is trying to become, for himself, his parents, his wife and his country.
Theresa, Mihai’s arranged marriage, struggles with her own set of torments. She must deal with her husband coping with his life as well as the consequences of his past. There are also secrets to her past that she will try to unravel.
Viktor’s journey is the one of the wolf. He is Mihai best friend and boarding school comrade. His transformation after the bite of a werewolf is one that rivets the reader. It will keep you wondering what will happen next. He struggles with the man he is and the werewolf he becomes every full moon. This affects all that know him. You keep reading to know if he will overcome all his torments.
The Wolf’s Torment is definitely a page turner. You do not want to put it down. It is one of those stories that is written with the skill that will pull you in. S.G. Cardin draws you into the surroundings and to the characters lives. She spins an excellent tale that leaves you feeling like you are actually in the 1800s in Moldavia. Definitely a good read. It is a book that I highly recommend.
