I found the two main characters, Raisa and Han, to be young and naive, and although one expects these two to coincide, I expected more out of this popular series. “The gloom on either side of the trail seemed to coalesce into gray shadows loping alongside her, their bodies compressing and extending…Raisa caught a glimpse of narrow lupine heads and amber eyes, tongues lolling over razor-sharp teeth, and then they disappeared.” The conflict between clan members and wizards borne from a war started long ago by the infamous Demon King spills into both of these young people’s lives, throwing them together and sending them on a journey that will shape the Queendom of the Fells forever. Han Alister is a former street thief struggling to support his mother and sister, but with his reputation and the trouble that always seems to follow him, finding a honest job may be the least of his worries.
