Grey Stone
Pietre is a human boy who has spent the last thirteen years afraid of the sunset, the Blodguard, and the wolf-shifting masters who rule his world. Wittendon is a werewolf prince who has spent the last nineteen years afraid of his father, his inability to do magic, and the upcoming tournament he's sure to lose.
But when Pietre finds an orphaned pup in the woods and Wittendon is forced to arrest the boy's father soon after, both of them begin to realize that keeping the rules might be just as terrifying as breaking them.
Now serf and master must learn to cut through their own prejudices and work together in order to turn their world before it turns on them. Grey Stone is a story of dogs who talk, wolves who kill, and a stone that-for better or worse-can change all that.
After reading 'Grey Lore' I really wanted to read this book as well. I mean, I just loved the other book so much!
'Grey Stone' has the same beautiful writing style, great plot and awesome characters. Zinnegael was so wonderful as an old woman, but if possible she was even better as a young one. Humphrey was the best dog ever, and Wittendon was the kind of prince and most-main-character I like to have in a story.
Some minor points made that I did not give this book the full five stars I gave 'Grey Lore' though. One was the use of Dutch words in it, that sometimes put me off. Not even that they were used as often as they were, but a ferocious wolf called 'Wolrijk' or 'rich of wool' ... made him sound way too fluffy in my head every time I read his name. His name made me want to pet him and 'awwwww' him, which clearly was not based on his character or looks. I also felt a little more distance towards the characters, there was slightly too much changing POV to get as invested in the story as I wished to be. Apart from that, I loved this book as well :-)
I received a free copy through Netgalley, in return for an honest review.
