I find it hard to describe why I love spice and wolf so much. The stories are not particularly well written, the plots are often a little simplistic and the dialogue can sometimes be lacking. But, despite all that, whenever I read spice and wolf I always end up with a smile on my face and a happy feeling that lasts for hours after I put the books down. Charming is how I would describe this series and I couldn't recommend it enough.

I have a soft spot for comics about economic systems and other nutty gritty how stuff works details in fantasy settings. Spice & Wolf is set in a time where trading is growing in power in a medieval setting and the plot, when it isn’t concerned with the budding romance between a traveling merchant and a wolf god, delves deep into how people in olden times dealt with unsafe trade routes, competing currencies, and the manipulation of pricing for goods and services.

What a great fantasy story. I love the characters and the way the story blends the history into the present. A love story with a dark secret.
