Representaion Toward Books Spice & Wolf, Vol. 01 (狼と香辛料 / Spice & Wolf: Light Novel #1)
The life of a traveling merchant is a lonely one, a fact with which Kraft Lawrence is well acquainted. Wandering from town to town with just his horse, cart, and whatever wares have come his way, the peddler has pretty well settled into his routine-that is, until the night Lawrence finds a wolf goddess asleep in his cart. Taking the form of a fetching girl with wolf ears and a tail, Holo has wearied of tending to harvests in the countryside and strikes up a bargain with the merchant to lend him the cunning of "Holo the Wisewolf" to increase his profits in exchange for taking her along on his travels. What kind of businessman could turn down such an offer? Lawrence soon learns, though, that having an ancient goddess as a traveling companion can be a bit of a mixed blessing. Will this wolf girl turn out to be too wild to tame?Declare Books In Pursuance Of Spice & Wolf, Vol. 01 (狼と香辛料 / Spice & Wolf: Light Novel #1)

Kraft Lawrence is a clever traveling merchant traveling a medieval countryside hoping to earn enough to realize his dream of owning his own shop. His life gets significantly more complicated when he inadvertently gives a wolf goddess a lift away from the village she's been watching over for centuries. Wanting to go back to the land of her birth, Holo vows to help Lawrence in his trades in exchange for traveling with him.At the center of Spice and Wolf is a well developed journey with compellingA well written story with compelling characters. I would also suggest the anime version, which is very true to the book, with the exception of one character that is changed (for the better, in my opinion...)The real strength of this story is the realistic development of the relationship between the two protagonists, despite the fact that one of them is a "harvest goddess" with ears and a tail. This isn't one of your standard "magical girlfriend" stories where the characters are in love from the
I'll always remember that you chose me. Lawrence is a traveling merchant that is very trusted throughout the land, even though that land is very heavily controlled by the church, who will do anything to make sure the gods from the past are no longer worshiped. This doesn't affect Lawrence what-so-ever, until he finds one of these old gods sleeping in his wagon cart after a Pagan harvest festival. The adorable god he finds is Horo, a wolf god! She can shift between forms, even though it's not
Characters: 5/5I really enjoy the characters of Spice and Wolf, especially because of the small cast. You have a merchant, his apprentice, and a WOLF GODDESS. The cast seems to be fairly realistic, but corny at times with it's clever antics and wordplay. This is due to the old wording style of the novel with lines such as, "All, be they human or animal, look on my form and give way with awe, and treat me as special. I have tired of this treatment"(Hasekura 29). The characters grew on me staying
I have a new obsession and a new ship, enough said.
What a delightful find this was! I came across this in the bookstore, and I'll admit, the cover intrigued me, and really, it lead me to purchase it. What has thrilled me the most about this series, is that the main female character, Horo, is a cute little wolf God. She is that good, she can actually shift between forms, and when she is human, she still is left with the fangs, ears and a long tail. Her very existence all depends on a sheaf of wheat.I get the initial feeling that this story is a
I loved Spice and wolf the Anime so I thought I would love the light novel version. But, I almost felt as if they were different things. The Novak was so dense with merchant lingo that it made it almost boring and way out of my depth as a normal human being.
