 Series review: I loved this so so much. I flew threw them, but they're also very competently written. I'm always a sucker for stories where kindness wins. It was an absolute delight to find a world where shifters aren't humans with a wolf inside them, they're always a wolf in any form. The whole world is amazing, in fact, and so detailed you would think Bishop had been writing in it for years. The characters got me just as much as the world. Our Meg immediately stole my heart. She's special, yes, but she's flawed and realistic and kind. But every character in the Courtyard was delightful, from Simon down to the ponies and the human pack. I'm so sad I can't spend any more time with them. If there's a flaw, it's the villains - they are pretty one note, mustache twirling bad guys. That said, they were fun to hate and see get their comeuppance.
