I really liked the beginning; it was a solid start. However, the further I read, the more tired (and slightly bored) I felt. Sadly, I just lost interest in a story and themes, which on paper–female rage, art, a female weredog, transformative magic–I should've thoroughly enjoyed. This book would have definitely benefited from a massive edit (i.e. cutting out many repetitive plot points) to turn it into a novella. Also, I didn't care that much for Nightbitch's child; he was too prominent a character.
A moment of silence for the dead cat and bunnies. Was that really necessary, Yoder?
