This type of Book is good for... | ||
Fantasy fans who love epic adventures and stories without orcs, wizards, or dragons. All the characters are animals. Though it may sound strange, this book rates second on my top list of fantasy books.  It's only topped by the LOTR. | ||
I especially liked... | ||
The backstory and mystery weaved into the plot. It kept me guessing to the very end. The way everything came together was very unexpected and totally awesome! I also enjoyed how the writer gave the antagonist feelings. There were several chapters in his POV that told of how he was struggling to forgive himself and move on after what he did. His fear is actually what brings him down in the end. | ||

It's a really really good book!!! It's a shame it isn't more well known. | ||
Further Comments... | ||
I would rate this book probably for readers 12+. There's nothing real gory, but some of the themes of revenge and the backstory might frighten younger readers. It's easy reading though. | ||
