This book was 780 pages in the ARC I poured into my eyeholes because Kate Elliott writes long books full of feelings and description of foods and the inner lives of women and excellent, complicated politics in shades of gray. And friends, I now wish I could unread ALL 780 PAGES so I could immediately pour them directly back in through a fresh reread. If you know how I read epic fantasy (with a notebook and pen and a page of notes for almost every character because they're so long/big I getI blurbed this book:"On a vast, colorful canvas, Kate Elliott has drawn dozens of characters who act and react with poetry and grit.

Review from The Speculative Herald: http://www.speculativeherald.com/2015...Black Wolves may be a daunting read as it is a massive book and I know sometimes readers are deterred by that. The thing is, though, it is also a massively impressive book. Scaling it down would be a disservice to the story and quite honestly the story deserves to be read. I have not formulated my best of the year list, but I can tell you this book will appear on it as it is easily one of the best epic fantasies I have
