3.25

Actual rating 3.25/5

+Well-written character relationships, particularly between Ranger and his best friend, and his mentor.
+The wolf wizards are a pretty neat concept to add a fantasy touch to this book.
+I loved Morpheus, of course.
-Scenes and dialogue sometimes feels repetitious.
-The female characters (the few there are) aren't very well-written; there is only one major female character of note and she's pretty flat. Also there's a bit of fridging female characters for male character's development. The writing of the female characters feels kinda lowkey sexist imo.
-The villains are very bland and one-note.
