BL: The Red Wolf Conspiracy (Redick, Robert V.S.)
Robert V.S. Redick, The Red Wolf Conspiracy
Del Rey (2008) ISBN: 978-0-345-50883-6
Score: 2
Start of the Chathrand Voyage trilogy, an epic fantasy mostly set on a really big boat. Pretty typical, with a few non-human humanoid races, talking animals, messy politics, and unpronounceable names ("Diadrelu Tammariken ap Ixhxchr"). The title is a bit inaccurate, since the conspirators weren't interested in the wolf (until the end), but calling it "The Bridal Conspiracy" would probably give the wrong impression. I wasn't too happy with the ending revealing that a couple spells were surprisingly complex in suspiciously plot convenient ways (or so we were told; both characters involved had a motive to lie).
