This book always evokes such strong emotions in me! There is intense character growth and development.

I love the opportunity Ayla has to be with Rydag and learn more about Durc through him, but also to help him have a more fulfilling life before he passed away. Ayla and Jondalar's relationship is really tested, but you learn the importance of communication and honesty about what you're thinking and feeling.
