My Opinion
Fast, Brilliant & Mysterious
Wolf at the Door by Sarah Hawkswood is a brilliant story with a perfect plot. A medieval story with lots of plot twists and surprises. The story will take you on a journey to medieval England. The cover is also a catchy one. I would highly recommend this book if you are a mystery fan. The book is a real Page- Turner and its a crime to miss such an amazing book. The climax was totally unexpected and mind blowing. I would give 5 stars for the book.
Character Portrayal
I am in really love with the characters. My favorite character is Under Sergeant Walkelin. A young officer entangled between his personal and professional life is very interesting. The Antagonists are wonderfully portrayed. I would not say that there are strong character developments as they already have a substantial position in the story.
Narrative Style
Wolf at the Door by Sarah Hawkswood is narrated from author's POV. The narration perfectly describes England and its medieval time. Also, the author has presented a crisp and concise story with no un- necessary characters and events.
