Note:  The chapters are divided into multiple parts of alternative lengths.  Even though I have only read a little more than four complete chapters, I feel that I have read enough to write a fair assessment of the work.

The main issue I had with Tracker: Tiger and Fox appeared immediately in the prologue and continued to saturate the narrative that I read.  Instead of writing the action, a good deal of it was simply talked about.  The prologue mentions dreams and waking up naked in the warehouse.  As the prologue continues, she is assaulted by a mind controling presence, and the reader is told that she is afraid and that she fought against it.  However, this sort of style did little to create the protagonist.  The reader isn’t told how she fought, how she resisted—just that she did so.  As I prefer character driven stories, this created a distance from the character that did not suit me.

The following four chapters have a lot happening, but again, the main character and the supporting characters seem to have names and nothing else.  The only character who seems to be somewhat developed is Antoinette, and even she seems to be missing something.  She speaks in a French accent, but even so, her characterization read stiff and clumsy to me.

The story itself left much to be desired.  The title and corresponding blurb imply that Tracker is the main character, yet there is very little of him.  After four chapters, not including the prologue of course, I feel as if I have very little sense of who he is and I do not have a compulsion to find out how he grows or what happens to him in the course of the narrative.

However, the plot is, for the most part, fast moving.  If you prefer plot driven stories instead of character driven ones, then this story might be for you.

Likes: The concept of shape-shifters and mutants is interesting. I’m always interested in reading about the lives of mutants [more . . .]

I have been meaning to write it for some time, but unfortunately my access to the internet has been incredibly intermittent lately and thus I have been unable to completely finish the text- as is generally my custom prior to attempting a review. However I have [more . . .]

Here is an honestly interesting and exciting online read.  I really liked the smooth flow of the writing style and the story continues to pull me along with it.

You need to sit down with a cup of coffee and a couple of cookies and enjoy the great read.
