It's an interesting read, quite reminiscent of Rosemary Sutcliff and other stories like that, the story is mostly told from Trista's point of view but occasionally from Mortcant's and it makes it more rounded for that. Interesting to see Mortcant duel between his wolf and his human side. Threads left at the end could have a sequel but it's complete as it is.… (meer)
