I subscribed to the fiction line as soon as it came out, and I expected the first book in the line - Prince of Wolves, i.e. this book - to be good, and I was still pleasantly surprised!
I'd read Dave Gross' installments in the Pathfinder Journal section of the Adventure Path and quite enjoyed the adventures of Count Jeggare and Radovan, as well as the short story about them in the Web Fiction blog, and they were great.
Prince of Wolves blew me out of the water. I couldn't put it down, even though "it" was a PDF on my iPod. I could barely concentrate on the rest of the things I had to do, like work and family. By the time my print copy arrived, I was almost done.
I especially liked the developments for Radovan. I have to admit, between the two main characters, he is my favorite, and it was nice to see him get a break.
I'm eagerly awaiting the next book in this line, and would be ecstatic to see more adventures of Jeggare and Radovan.
I would recommend this book to anybody interested in serious fantasy literature, though might warn the squeamish - there are a few somewhat graphic scenes.
Seeing Ustalav brought to life was surprisingly fun as well. I've never been much of a fan of horror or dark fiction, but the details presented really brought the setting to life. I am now doubly looking forward to the upcoming Carrion Crown AP - to be set in Ustalav. (If we're lucky, maybe some of the characters and locations featured in this book will make appearances in Carrion Crown. 8^)
