MY OVERVIEW
I decided to read this book because I had read the first 4 in the series, and when I read more than the first two books of a series, I like to continue until the end.

PROS
I really like Gwynneth, the rogue smith owl, because of her sensibility and intelligence. She's also very practical, and I love the way she helps the wolves when need be, and doesn't give up.

I liked how the book was an easy read, and how it was short, so I could read in one sitting.

CONS
The thing I didn't like about...more

Faolan is a wolf who was born with a splayed paw. This causes him to be outcast, meant to die. But he didn't he survived. He came back as a gnaw wolf, the wolf who usually gets picked on by the others. He then grew out of that and became a watch wolf. This book takes place after the huge famine that spread across the beyond. Just after things were starting to go back to normal, huge earthquakes cause the Sacred Ring of Volcanoes...more

Another wolf of the beyond series. Brianas favorite series. It wasn't one of my favorite books that she has written. Too long and not too much happened , it seemed like she wrote this one so that she could write another book for her long series. It is brianas favorite series so I read it.

I disliked this book.There were too many deaths.Soren in particular it said that Gwynneth saw Soren's scroom or spirit and the Sark she had a big part in Faolan's life.Kathryn Lasky is a good author but she really messed up when she wrote that Soren was dead.

I gave this five stars because it is great, although the previous four are a smidge better, but these are a few complaints.

1. I do understand that the author had a disaster happen, but did EVERY wolf on the watch have to die excepting Faolan and Edme and Banja? Couldn't at least two of the others had survived?
2. It seemed like they hung around too much for half the book and were just sitting in the Beyond all by theirselves.
3. It feels like Faolan, Edme, Banja, Toby, Burney, Maudie, Myrr, Gwyne...more

"Spirit Wolf" is about a wolf named Faolan that has a splayed paw. Faolan is connected with bears and also with his sisters, Mhairie and Darlie. They go on adventures. I recommend this book to anyone that likes animals.
Sonia Loo
I really liked it. The part where Foalan meets the other gyre souls is really cool and imaginative. I still thinks it pretty sad.
King Hoole
Pure awesome. Only reason no 5 is cause it isn't that exciting. It's more of an intro into even more awesome book 6
Darkened Warrior
It was so sad that my favorite character dies! (Not telling)

Disaster epic. Survival. Will they create a new life for themselves. I hope the final book holds the answers.

Hard to judge this as I've not read any others in the series. Would be a mild page-turner for some youngsters, somewhat predictable.
Jessie
I think that so far this is the best book in the series and I can't wait for the next book!
Dawn
I was disappointed in this book, as it continued to delve into more Hindu ideas. Instead of focusing on the importance of castes, as in Frost Wolf, this book talked heavily about reincarnation. I read this book in hope the story might improve, but it seems that Lasky has decided to heavily base this world on Hindu beliefs.
Reece Grady
This book is great.

Alwsome can't wait to read the next!
