"Though he might travel the world and amass a great fortune, the one thing Lawrence could never have was right here." Come to think of it there seems to be an aweful lot of wheat on the floor. She's even started howling at the moon and eating apples by the bushels. That slow pacing is going to drive the love of my life crazy. My one complaint, the books are being released once every six months and the first volume is still fresh on the shelves. If you are looking for a great love story with outstanding dialogue do not fail to become a fan of this series. Everytime the reader is given just a little glimpse at the love growing between Lawrence and Holo the two seem forced to take three steps back. Isuna has created two very intelligent and crafty characters that seem to have Murphy's Law following them at every turn. Spice and Wolf, while there seems to be some controversy over the English translation of the title, is very unique in its presentation of a classic "slow build" love story. "Then" I discover it's based on a series of popular novels. We watched through all thirteen episodes in two days. The first chance I had I bought the first season. Please, let me find something else." And after being shushed I listened to the dialogue and sat through the remainder of the episode in pure disbelief. I think fantasy lovers would really enjoy this, and it would be a nice place to start if you want to get into light-novels and manga.īlog | Twitter | Tumblr | Instagram | Youtube | TwitchĪmazing what happens when you're flipping through channels looking for something to watch and your significant other says, "Stop!" So, I stopped and saw this woman with animal ears and rolled my eyes. This story read very beautifully, and I feel like it was translated well. There was a lot to the story and plot, and the character development (as slow as it might be) was also exceptional. This was actually very meaty, and took me two nights to read. When I saw it only had a prologue, six chapters and then an epilogue, I thought it would only take me about an hour to read. This book was much longer and much more thought provoking than I thought it would be. I think I want to continue on with this series mostly just to see their happy ending (they better get a happy ending). Lawrence and Horo are both such lonely creatures that truly do not deserve to be. This is a romance, but it's the definition of slow-burn romance. This will not be the last time we see these two companies or the church, I'm sure. Lawrence and Horo get wrapped up with two companies, with very similar names might I add, that have much more power than they do. The main sub-plot surrounds the coin system and silver purity. This book heavily focuses on economics, but it isn't overwhelming. Lawrence agrees to help Horo get north, while Horo promises to help his sales to earn her keep. Obviously, Lawrence's new travel friend would cause a problem if anyone found out that she's really a Pagan god, so Horo is constantly hiding her "special additions". Her life depends on a sheaf of wheat that Lawrence has in his cart. The adorable god he finds is Horo, a wolf god! She can shift between forms, even though it's not the most convenient of ways, but in human form she is still left with cute little wolf ears and a tail. This doesn't affect Lawrence what-so-ever, until he finds one of these old gods sleeping in his wagon cart after a Pagan harvest festival. Lawrence is a traveling merchant that is very trusted throughout the land, even though that land is very heavily controlled by the church, who will do anything to make sure the gods from the past are no longer worshiped. “I'll always remember that you chose me.”
