This story is more like a supernatural saga. I suddenly remember the Mercy Thompson Series after the first few chapters. It doesn't simply use the popular tropes that we will often encounter in werewolf/vampire stories. It comes with the history and politics of wolf shifters and a society that has learned from human strategies allowing them to foster a semblance of peace and order. The hook was effective. It did not just highlight the elements of fantasy. It comes with a critique of societal evolution. The lore that pertains to that historical shift is well-crafted. However, the pacing of the chapter is done quite leisurely, which could be a challenge to some readers. For instance, readers may not necessarily be clearly aware of what is at stake during the first few chapters. Still, the way that the author creates a sense of mystery and anticipation is very effective. It's just that there might be some moments when the narrative will benefit more from direct narration rather than being atmospheric or descriptive. Overall, this is a great story.
