Wolflings and Wizards is the second book in Abigail Hilton's The Prophet of Panamindorah series. What I found particularly engaging about this book was exactly what was lacking from the first book. The elements of political intrigue, the betrayls and surprises drive the plot as much as the character's motivations and their histories (which were not fully explored in the first novel). Hilton provides deeper insight into the psyche of many of the secondary characters making them much fuller and rounder characters. By the book's end, a multitude of those characters and their storylines have become just as important as Corry's. The novel becomes just as much about the people as it does about their histories and the political dealings (and double dealings).
novel left a little to be desired, this book pulls the reader in from the very start. Hilton obviously hits her stride when she delves deeper into the "action" of her story. The back story and character angst takes a back seat to the more immediate threats that arise. The action is thrilling, and things are just as heated in the third novel Fire and Flood, whcih is the perfect wrap-up for the series. If you're looking for something fun and entertaing, you should definitely explore this series.
