Was surprised by how much I liked this. I'm not a huge fan of the writing. At times, it's simple, confusing, or unclear, but on the other hand it did it's job of mainly staying out of the way, especially once I got used to it.
I loved the characters as well, although knowing at least some of the characters are from the Alanna series (which I haven't read) I felt a little robbed. I didn't really get to know some of the characters all that well or to see how familiar characters have gotten on in this new part of life or whatever. I missed the nuances of relationships between them and what they'd gone through, and I could tell. If they had only been mentioned a few times or only there for a brief part, I think it would have been fine, but it seemed to rely heavily on this old cast of characters.
Nevertheless, I still greatly enjoyed learning of Daine's powers along with her and her interactions with animals. Who doesn't love the idea of being able to really communicate animals and having them all love you. I'm eager to pick up the next book as soon as I can.

I truly love this series. It is fast paced and action packed. I love the introduction of the new characters and new monsters! I really can’t get enough of Tamora’s work.

I love Daine. Shes an amazing complex character just like Alanna. Great book.
