I hated it lol. I was raised on Julie of the Wolves and Julie's Wolf Pack, so when I read Wolves of Beyond it was just too freaky for me.

I went back to it and Ga'Hoole a few years ago and that writing just wasn't as good as i remember it?? Faolon was a Mary Sue because he always did what was right, and killed a cougar as a yearling, and everyone either loved or hated him because they were conveniently evil. My favorite wolf story is White Fang just because of how flow-y the writing is and how it (mostly) has accurate wolf behavior

I really liked Call of the Wild by Jack London. White Fang was good too but Buck was just such a sweet protagonist. I cry everytime.

Faolon being a Mary Sue never particularly bothered younger me, but it sure bothers current me.
I also never really cared about the realism of the animal novels I would read. But the cougar thing was just... no. Edited at June 18, 2020 11:47 AM by Children of Darkness

Ooh, I have a heron shifter but I've never used her in rps. I've always seen wolf shifters though, at least three in every shifter rp unless theres a rule of everyone being different
