I understand the villain has to do evil, and perhaps it is a testament to Lint's writing that he could inspire such emotions, but the book was nearly spoiled in the same way that Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys was. Things take a turn for the worse, as the so often do, and the events that follow were so devastating to me on a personal level that I nearly didn't want to continue reading the novel, despite being almost done with it. He seeks refuge in a little out-of-the-way inn, and suddenly finds himself surrounded by people who actually care about him, something he hasn't felt in a long time. Which is exactly where Kern finds himself at the beginning of Wolf Moon, being chased down by a mystical bear that has been summoned by a magical harper. He has full control over his shapechanging ability, but he has to move from place to place and keep his secret well-hidden for fear of being hunted down and killed. The story is about Kern, a shapechanger/werewolf who has never found his place in the world because his kind are viewed as murderous monsters. Have you ever come across a bad guy so villainous that their heinous misdeeds actually put a damper on the entire book? Yep, that was my experience with this one.
