If you haven't read the first few books in this series, I suggest you do that first. This is book 3 (there is also a novella) and there are quite a few terms and characters that are introduced in the first couple of books. If you are like me and read these books as soon as they are released, you may like to revisit the last book (Hidden Trump) just to remind yourself of who/what is who. There is not too much in the way of reminders/retelling of the story, which is good -- as long as you can remember details from the previous books.Amber yet again finds herself in the middle of the Weres and Athanates, while being pursued by another group, the Nagas. She learns more about her abilities, as they manifest further, and strengthens relationships between her kin.There is plenty of action in this book and I loved getting to know more about the Weres and Amber's wolfy side. I would not class this as a quick or simple read. It is long (500 pages) and there is quite a bit of strategising and profiling that goes on throughout. It gave me plenty to think about, which I really enjoyed.Wild Card is very well written. It is complex, but not overwhelmingly so. There are a few minor typos throughout, but nothing that was too distracting. This is a great addition to the series, and my favourite. Well worth the read :)
