Customer Reviews

I loved this book :)

It seems like everyone who read the book and was disappointed with it was a fan of the entire series... which I think is a bit unfair to Greyheart. Having only read this book out of all of Tara K Harper's, I have to say it was very engaging and presented a thorough plot an does a good job of introducing the characters' personalities without clubbing you over the head with them, as so many other books tend to. The beginning was intriguing, the middle was eventful and engaging, and the end was satisfying. Not the deepest book in the world, but I definitely don't regret purchasing it. I found it very refreshing and a bit atypical for a wolf book... which made it more interesting. I'm not usually particularly fond of sci-fi/fantasy stereotypes, but I have to say I really did enjoy this one.

Wonderfully Descriptive

I found this book to be my favorite. I like Star Wars novels usually, but the stories in the Wolfwalker series are truly my love. I have read Grayheart numerous times. The mixture of music is what truly makes it my favorite of the series. Grayheart is a wonderful character and the connection of family thought lost and then found is a wonderful resolution to old conflicts. It's a must read, one to read slowly to savor the flavor.

Tara Harper is wonderful!

Rezsia knew nothing of the dangers in the woods. But she needed by the elders to investigate a series of strange deaths. Rezsia had only been bonded with the wolf, Gray Vlen, for a short time. Everything was still new to Rezsia. But she had no choice but to do as the elders bid. There was no one else available. In the woods Rezsia met an odd, older wolfwalker, Coale, who could teach her to join in the packsong and run with the wolves. Then they join with a party of scouts who were assigned to escort Rezsia to her destination safely and to instruct her in forest survival skills. If she hoped to survive, Rezsia could trust no one. She would have to sift through the memories of the wolves, and trust her life to skills she had never tested. ***Anne McCaffrey is quoted as saying, "Tara K. Harper's Wolfwalker novels are particular favorites of mine." I understand why.***

If you liked the dragon riders of pern you'll like this seri

I've read 4 or the 5 books of the wolf walker series and have enjoyed all of them. Its also been fun to watch the author improve with each book and not allow a "sameness" to cheapen the whole series. It's similar to the Pern series in the empathic link to a genetically engineered species, but there is a vibrance in this series that is unusual. Good characters, rich plot, and an understanding of canines(lupines) and their motivations. Just a cool book

Good Reading, especially if you like the "Pern" book series

This is the forth book of the series and the first one that I have read (so far)It is about a young woman growing up in her new found skill as a wolfwalker and in her relationship with the wilderness and the people in she is travelling with. It combines a world of people who can communicate with the wolves and a mystery to be solved. The ending was a surprise to me, I never would have thought just who the "bad guy" was! Although the story had a logical ending, it left me wanting to read more. Good book, I'm now a fan!
