Etched in Bone by Anne Bishop
5.0
Excellent reread
I really like the way the plot unfolds in this one. It's got the traditional build up to the climax that you don't always get in sequels, especially not when it's still following the same characters in the same general timespan. The problem and antagonist is new, too, in a way that's surprising and eventful but still totally matches the logic of the world and the buildup of the other novels. It wraps up the series really satisfyingly, with justice for several characters who deserved it and emotionally fulfilling endings for characters, especially Meg and Simon. I continue to love Twyla Montgomery and the way she interacts with the wolves. And Skippy is also still one of my favorites. I love the growth he gets and his dear little bravery.
