Title: moon called
Product review: "Moon Called" was so much better than I expected. Mercy Thompson, the main character, is a walker, which is basically a shapeshifter who turns into a coyote. She is not an official part of the local werewolf pack, but "Moon Called" is still very focused on werewolves and their politics. Briggs goes to great lengths to explain werewolf politics, and I enjoyed this aspect of the novel the most. The relationships within the local pack, & Mercy's relationship to the pack, are pretty much the basis of the story.There was also a mystery at the heart of the story, & I must say that I was able to figure out the whodunnit when the character first appeared. The perpetrator was interesting in his own right but, in the end, really just a stock character that is used in many mysteries. Even so, I was much more interested in the relationships & what is to come. There are some hints that Mercy may have special powers, so I hope that will be explored in future novels.
