After finishing the first book, Moon of the Crusted Snow, I couldn't wait to pick this one up. I'm happy I got to read the two books one after the other and didn't have to wait five years to know what happened next!

This book made me emotional several times. All kinds of emotions. Emotions all over the place. Books don't do that to me often so I had no choice but to give this 5 well-deserved stars. It is not because the author lives where I live. It's also not because I get to meet him in 2 weeks and he's gonna sign my books...:P

I loved this story. I loved the culture and Waub's easy style. This book, like the first reads so well. It's so easy to get into it. I loved every part of this book, the family, the adventure, the danger, the sadness, this one is going to sit with me a while. I don't think Waub wants to write a third installment of this story since he gave us so much closure this time, haha. But I would read another one of these in a heartbeat.
