Rise of the Wolf (Wereworld)

I can’t wait to read the next story. I rarely give out a 5 star rating so trust me this is really good. Young or old like me (69) will enjoy this adventure. I actually saw the animated series first and just knew the book would be good and it is. The imagined world is well constructed and the characters have a lot of depth. I can never write about a story because I’m an instant spoiler. So I’ll just say, take a leap of faith and give it a go. The animated series does the story justice, so check that out too. Now, on to the second book in the series!

I want o say I'm writing this on a kindle so there will be typos**SPOILER Warning**This book is about Drew Ferran, a farm boy. That is, hes one until the strange creature bursts thru his window, killing his mom. (its not a werewolf) Then, he finds out what his patents were hiding... hes a Werewolf. after a fight with the ... thing, his dad comes back from hunting and thinks Drew killed his wife. He stabed him with his sword, but, somehow , Drew survives.I love-- no, I ADORE this book. Drew isn't one of those heros who can't lose because hes the hero and he cant lose. He gets his but whipped plenty.this a good book for all that love werewolves an not werewolf romance (i hate werewolf romance)All the characters are developed well and are three dimensional, and the plot doesn't bore.Also, its really original. Were else have you herd of therianthropes or Werelords? Thats right, NO WERE!If u what detailed shifting look no further than chapter 3. The end is satisfying, its nice and long,and...... Its not just werewolves.That right folks u gt werebears, werecats, wereboars, werefoxes and many moreDrew gets many beatings and when he finds out he's royalty, its not a cheap twist, its genuineAll in all, this is a good book for all who love werewolves and shifters and all who don't like how werewolves are currently portrayed as people who have sex all the timeAnd to Twilght fan girls: there are no vampires!p.s.: sorry for the poor grammar

Exciting and fun to read. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series and finding out how this story plays out.

After watching the new series on Netflix in one day, I had to find the books.The book didn’t disappoint!The pacing is good, the world building is fantastic, and the characters are loveable.I was surprised at some of the more graphic violence that wasn’t in the show. Not that it’s bad, but definitely above my son’s 2nd grade reading…for now. I will probably purchase paperbacks for him when he’s a few years older if he still enjoys the show.

I started watching the show on Netflix and when I realized it was based on a book I immediately stopped watching and got the book. It’s so much better and such an easy flowing read. An original story with the right amount of content and an amazing twist. Similar to GOT in some ways, but the were-creatures aspect was perfect. Looking forward to reading the rest!

Perfect !

Great story but for some reason my copy was missing 65 pages… had to buy digital version to read them :P

I am a huuuge fan of The Inheritance Cycle (the series of Eragon, for all you noobs out there), and before I randomly picked up Wereworld from a local Barnes and Noble, I was absolutely certain that no series could compare with The Inheritance Cycle and The Lord of the Rings. After reading Wereworld, I decided that, without a doubt, it sits up there as one of the greatest book series' of our time. It would be too hard for me to admit such a thing as to say it is "superior" than Eragon, but if you enjoyed Eragon, definitely give this one a read. (Read the whole series too. It gets progressively better in my opinion.)

The Werewold is a whole new fantasy world, and while it may have been put in the category of 'Young Adult' books I'm 22 and read quite a variety of different genres and styles of books-although I do have a soft spot for werewolf books-and I didn't find anything particularly 'young adult-like' about this book. I don't know why most supernatural fantasy is categorized as YA, adults like fantasy too! This was the first novel from Curtis Jobling and as such I was uncertain as to whether it would be any good, but I was drawn in from the first few pages and didn't want to leave the wereworld.I havn't read anything quite like this book, the werewolves are less wolfish and more like the werewolves in TV and films-AND there are a whole world (wereworld kind of gives that away doesn't it?) of new werecreatures, werefoxes, wereboars, werehorses etc etc and while there are other supernatural fantasy books with different kinds of shapeshifters in, Rachel Vincent and Keri Arthur to name a few I've come across, I havn't read what I can only describe as a Tolkein-esque fantasy world populated by Werewolves and humans. There is magic, quests (of a sort..), and by the end of the book Drew's destiny is revealed. The destiny itself may not come as a surprise as you're reading it, neither may some of the relationships between characters but this is an excellent and highly enjoyable read, and I cannot wait until the next book.

Me encantó la historia. Mucho mejor que la “adaptación” a serie que le hicieron

My child enjoy reading this

Erst war ich begeistert, da in Fantasy Romane mit Werwölfen sehr mag. Aber mittendrin war es mir dann doch zu viel, als Loki als gemeiner Trickser plötzlich aufgetaucht war. Schade.

La saga de Netflix. Está interesante porque hay varios detalles que en la serie cambian respecto la novela y te das cuenta de más cosas. Está en inglés.
