A Companion to Wolves is the story of a young nobleman, Isolfr, who is chosen to become a wolfcarl -- a warrior who is bonded to a fighting wolf. Isolfr is deeply drawn to the wolves, and though as his father's heir he can refuse the call, he chooses to go. The people of this wintry land depend on the wolfcarls to protect them from the threat of trolls and wyverns, though the supernatural creatures have not come in force for many years. Men are growing too confident. The wolfhealls are small, and the lords give them less respect than in former years. But the winter of Isolfr's bonding, the trolls come down from the north in far greater numbers than before, and the holding's complaisance gives way to terror in the dark. Isolfr, now bonded to a queen wolf, Viradechtis, must learn where his honor lies, and discover the lengths to which he will to go when it, and love for his wolf, drive him.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

First, There is nothing "gay" (The main character is many things but gay is not one of them.) or remotely romantic or even kinda sorta erotic in my opinion in this whole book. None, zilch, nada.This is an almost note perfect cut & paste of the old Dragonrider series... I would never in a million years hold Anne McCaffrey's Dragonrider series as any type of "sacred ground" that is off limits to anyone in the slightest so have fun. It's not like McCaffrey did not try her hardest to run the whole series into the ground so it's not like anyone else will ruin it for me like her last few books sure did.But... it gives me some great ways to compare and contrast this book so guess what I am about to do.1) The Dragonriders were riding dragons that could fly. So the whole big bad wolf thing might have worked if it was a unique idea like they rode the wolves around or something but the real problem using wolves actually stems from one other werewolfy thing. Wolves are considered pretty dang monogamous in fiction. That's why there is that whole werewolf romance thing going on so wolves are not the best choice for the whole multiple mate selection deal which kinda falls flat right there at the very start. Mind you, the humans come across as big old boat anchors. These wolves remain on the ground like real wolves but are bigger, stronger, faster, and it seems pretty dang intelligent so why do they need slow assed humans following them around like so much extra baggage again? What's the benefit of this setup besides the psychic friends deal?2) The names... OMG THE NAMES! The guys did not keep the "vaguely viking sounding" name given to them at birth. No, you get a new name with your new wolf and yet another name if you replace said wolf and I am sure another at "the drop of a hat" or whatever reason not mentioned. At no time was this pointed out during conversations or anything. So... you had the same characters popping up with random names and places with blah blah blah this "vaguely viking sounding" name and positions with blah blah blah that "vaguely viking sounding" name. All of which you were expected to just absorb and move on with little if any "vaguely viking sounding" reasons given.3) If there is one thing Anne McCaffrey did get right was her dragons selected riders psychic wise that not only they could get along with but that worked sexually with their social position. Non-consensual sex could still happen but not full on sexually mis-matched situations. You might regret who or what happened the morning after but you were not shocked by the fact it happened. Elizabeth Bear & Sarah Monette chose to go face first into non-con violent sex territory here folks. Oh yeah, this book is all that and a bag of cringe inducing chips.4) Last but not least Isolfr the icy cold remote main character. Let's be clear halfway through this book the sexual violence turns our straight frat boy hero into a bitter, nasty, ugly, victim. He was warned what would happen, they did spell it out for him and it was even explicitly stated he could have walked away at any time no T, no shade, no pink lemonade. Let me point out again he was told what would happen, he even had a gay sex scene with an older wiser man to prepare him for what would happen... yet he still decides to make everyone including the reader pay for his victimhood. Oh boo hoo, Isoflr makes the latter half of the book awkward and weird.5?) Oh, by the way... two women wrote this book so why are all the female characters basically mothers or nurses? Just asking.So in summary I gave this book two stars because I have to admit I can get through half of it because it reminds me of another book I liked better... as far as wanting more, I aint up on reading the further adventures of Isoflr The Resentful Ass.
