With his carthorse as his only companion, the young merchant Kraft Lawrence slowly wends his way through dusty back roads in search of profitable trade. But this monotony screeches to a halt when, one night, he encounters a harvest goddess in the guise of a beautiful young girl…with wolf ears and a tail! Longing for the northern lands of her birth, Holo the Wisewolf joins Lawrence as he follows the ebb and flow of trade through the countryside. And when the two come across a compelling but suspicious opportunity for profit, will Lawrence with his mercantile chops and Holo with her ancient instincts be able to separate the truth from the lies — and make some coin while they’re at it?!

Read the full take

Spice & Wolf is a charming, clever medieval romance-adventure with a premise that stays fresh. A young travelling merchant and his carthorse slowly make their way along dusty roads in search of profit. One night he meets a harvest goddess in the form of a young girl with wolf ears and a tail. She longs for the northern lands of her birth and joins him, and together they follow the ebb and flow of trade through the countryside. The economics are detailed and clever, and the banter between the two is sharp, witty and full of tension. The atmosphere is warm and wistful. The honest cons: the economics can be dense for newcomers, and the pace is gentle and slow in places. Some plot threads take time to pay off. Still, it is a rich, thoughtful read for fans of clever romance. If you enjoy a story where talk and trade are the main adventure, this is essential.
