The book continues the story of Jesus, detailing his life as an older man, mostly just before he accepts his role as the son of God and acquires disciples.
This would have been a really interesting book about the time period itself if it had not been told from Jesus's first person perspective.
The ending of the book was really rushed, a lot of significant events were told in a handful of pages.
Unfortunately, The Wolf Gift does not capture the magic of The Vampire Chronicles.
The characters are bland. Even Reuben, who is the main character, hardly has any characterization and personality. He is a really bland character with no real traits other than inexplicably having sex with women who are not his girlfriend and talking like an old philosophy professor. There are some hits of his interests, but they are hardly developed.
Most of the cast is simply defined by their jobs. Reuben's mother is a doctor, his brother is a priest, and aside from this, they hardly have any personality. The Man Wolves are even worse, they are all interchangeable and do not stand out from each other.
A lot more of the same as the first two books.
At least the setting changes for the first half of the book, and some plot is seen in second half of the book.
A lot more of the same as in the first book, just with additional new main character.
One good thing about this book is that it has more variety and is not just spanking.
