Black Leopard, Red Wolf is a tome of a book. Well over six hundred pages, this is a fantasy epic with a modern writing style. This book is not a quick read. It is dense, and every page is packed with beautiful prose, fascinating characters, and different worlds. This is the type of book that transports you easily and refuses to let you go, making sure you dwell in the world it is building. The density of the novel does not end up being a drawback, and you can feel the journey the characters have taken by the time you close it on page six hundred twenty. This is the kind of density that submerges you fully in the narrative, and transports you to a world so unlike other mainstream fantasy. This review will not do the novel justice. Only reading it can.
