I didn't enjoy this quite as much as Lo's related book Ash, but it was still a quick and enjoyable read - albeit one that reminded me very much of Meredith Ann Pierce's The Pearl of the Soul of the World.

Huntress is one of those rare books in which I like nearly all the characters - with the notable exception of the villain, of course! Most of all I liked Kaede, especially the resolution of her relationship with Taisin (I particularly liked that for both girls there was more to life than romance). As with Ash, I enjoyed the world-building, but I thought the ending was a little thin, both in the conflict with Elowen and in the judgement of the unicorn. It all seemed a trifle easy... I got more of a sense of genuine threat from the accident on the glacier, for instance.
