I have read the first book in this series and liked it. I haven't read too far in this one, but it's shaping up to be pretty good too, except there's one thing that really bothers me. Prejudice is a nasty human failing which any thinking person fights against in themselves and others. So, even though this is just fantasy fiction, it bothers me that the sorta good guys in this series are prejudiced against the curs which are humans who have been turned by werewolves. Of course, the author portrays them as stupid and not nearly so strong and in control of their beasts as "born" werewolves. So, then that bothers me that some of the werewolves, who are at least later in the series portrayed as okay guys, turn humans into these stupid curs. I guess I just don't like it if the good guys have this universal moral failing. Maybe in the final book in the series they will change in this regard. I would hope so. Actually, part of the charm to me of werewolves IS that they have to fight their inner beast when their emotions are affected, so these werewolves don't seem very werewolfy to me.
In this book there is a character who later is the 'hero' in the what I think is the last or latest book in the series. I really don't like him at all since he considers killing a 'cur' woman with whom he has been having an affair, because she is getting uppity. Yuck! Unless I suspend my memory of that, I won't be able to see him as any kind of good guy unless later in this book he has some sort of major change of heart. Of course this series of books doesn't exactly plum the depths of the characters' emotions.
