it was good if you like the girl/wouth thing ( )

A great werewolf story, really different. Set in an alternate renaissance-style world, and the wolf transformations just keep getting worse and worse. Its heroine is fourteen-year-old Princess Jatta, and she’s puny and painfully shy, and terrified by her freaky wolf transformations. They also do nothing for her popularity. I loved this story, largely for the tortured characters. Their situation is bleak, but Jatta and her brother Arthmael work so well together. They share such a strong bond in their quest for a cure — or at least for a place where she can transform without a bloodbath. I got really involved, all stressed out for jatta, especially when her wolf turned on Arthmael. ( )
