I knew little about this book, other than it was a sort of prequel to Shardik, which I also haven't read. It reads like those old Hollywood movies, the ones that were a 4 hour long epic. Tells a very comprehensive story about a girl and her life in this world that has different morals than our own. Richard Adams really has a knack for weaving a story surrounding a MC who is naive or not understanding everything happening around them. By increments he really built a believable, thorough world as seen through the eyes of a girl.
