"Loved this story! Despite having no background knowledge, really, of either differing histories I could relate to the characters in this book. Very engrossing, all the way up to the end. I will always remember Omat and Brandr. "

"The story was so beautiful! What made me love it most was the protagonist’s relationship with animals! I am completely lost in my love for dogs, so I was a goner for this book as soon as I met Black Mask!"
