You will never be tougher than you are now. ![]() Katherine Rundell, quote from The Wolf Wilder. ![]() When I finished the book it felt like the story was a true story that you had actually witnessed because the characters and scenes were so realistically written. Fear is for people with brains and eyes and functioning nerve endings. A wolf wilder is the opposite of an animal tamer: it is a person who teaches tamed animals to fend for themselves, and to fight and to run, and to be wary of humans. Feodoras mother is a wolf wilder, and Feo is a wolf wilder in training. I like the way that she shows that Feo isn’t fearless but she is brave because she overcomes her fears and she shows that kindness overcomes fear and evil. The wolf wilder by Rundell, Katherine, author. Some of the reasons I love her writing are that she is incredibly good at building images in your mind with her choice of words, for example describing ballet as ‘writing with your feet’ and you feel that none of her words are wasted. Feo takes a bit of time to learn to trust Ilya because she is better at communicating with wolves than people but the author does a brilliant job of showing their friendship developing as they learn to trust each other and rely on each other. ![]() This is very much a kind of quest story and Katherine Rundell builds up the tension extremely well, with their encounters with the ruthless Rakov keeping you on the edge of your seat. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Looking to replicate the band’s success, major record labels set their sights on the underground, and began courting punk’s rising stars.
