I do not get these books. In the least. They are pedantic and boring and have no adventure. No humor. No magic. No spark. But they sure sound good on paper...The writing is fine, but there is nothing after that to maintain interest or engage one's mind nor emotions.
The other two had been dark, but this one almost oppressively so. The daughter of the hound and the bear undergoes many trials and sorrows and I'm not sure if the romance made up for it.
I liked the first two books in this series, but this one seemed oddly preachy somehow. I kept waiting for Harrison to give another view than “humans are bad and ruin everything” but somehow it never quite happened. I don’t know. [Sep. 2010]
