I was excited for this book but ultimately found it disappointing.  There didn't seem to be any real conflict other than Alex and Nala being stubborn, Nala more so than Alex, which was kind of annoying.  For all she claimed to be independent and strong she refused to be upfront about what she wanted.  And any other conflict seemed to be minor.  The attacks were quickly resolved, the relationship with Clan Grant quickly resolved, and Leah also quickly just resolved.  Would have preferred if there was one real conflict that was fully developed.
