From the outset of this reread it was clear that I was missing something - an entire spin off! I hadn’t known this as a kid and it took me a while to realise since I hadn’t really paid attention to the first few pages of the book. So a lot of the plot and characters did feel out of place, but it does make me want to read Unleashed now. So not my favourite book of the series, obviously. But, the stakes were still high and I still wanted to see it through to the bittersweet end.

Absolutely loved this. A satisfying conclusion to the Shapeshifter and Unleashed series. I've read and reread these books so many times, and they will forever remain one of my most loved book series.
To anyone discovering this book after only reading the original five Shapeshifter books... Please do yourself a favour and check out the Unleashed series before you read this, as Feather and Fang follows on from the Unleashed series and not from the fifth Shapeshifter book. Feather and Fang will make no sense to you if you haven't read this bridging series. Over the course of the Shapeshifter and the Unleashed series the tone and content of the books definitely graduates from a younger audience to at least YA, so keep that in mind if you want to feed these books to younger kids.
Overall I felt like this book tied up a lot of loose ends and brought a sense of a new beginning for the core characters. I really wish it had been longer (so I could spend more time with these characters that I love!) but I do think Ali Sparkes did great job wrapping up this series. I love her writing and I look forward to reading more of her books in the future!
