Hi, Tales readers, I will play Carrion Crown AP in a few months and, apart from the usual campaign settings, I was wondering if tales like Prince of Wolves may be useful for a player in order to create a better background, bond the PC to the area and the adventure, know some secrets of the place and, in general, improve the setting.
I have never read any Pathfinder novel — I didn't even know their existence until yesterday — but I'm curious to know if they can really help me to get more from my usual PF game. I've read some pages of the preview from Prince of Wolves and they seem quite easy to read — I think they are intended as a light lecture —, even if I'm not native English speaker.

I'm the most biased person you could find to answer this question, but I'm sure there's a lot of description in Prince of Wolves that your players would find useful for evoking the setting.
You might also want to direct them to Wes Schneider's novella "Guilty Blood," available independently of the Adventure Path right here.
The novels are great for helping players get the feel of the setting—it's one of the primary reasons we make them! And if you're looking to get a taste of Ustalav and Carrion Crown, there's no better place to start than Prince of Wolves.
Thank you for your answers! I won't be the GM of our next adventure but I will definitely point this to the master.
