The Wild Hunt series is one of my favorite paranormal romance series. I love the characters and the premise and the overall structure of the universe. Unfortunately, Leap of the Lion was not my favorite in this series. The set-up was a little too long and the main characters didn't get to really spend enough time on the page to form a solid relationship with each other let alone with the reader. This book felt more like a structural requirement for expanding the universe than a solid story on its own. We got new shifters and a new villain, and that will give us lots of traction going forward, I'm sure. But it was unsatisfactory as a novel all on its own. The relationships were just thin and weak. What I really did love was Vic and Jamie (characters from previous Wild Hunt books). They were crazy awesome, and I hope that Sinclair maybe gives that little family clan another book. We also got more shifter culture. The reality of a Gathering, which is something that we've heard about but haven't really seen, and more of the familial bonds between littermates. Since Sinclair is running out of single shifters, this entry to the universe adds in potential for new characters (two sets of brothers in particular stand out) and I'm excited to read new stories in the future.
