The fact that only Windstar - the only other female leader - trusted her and supported her so fiercely was fantastic. Shadowstar having no doubt that something had to be done, facing the leaders and getting shut down for being ridicules. The final three chapters were funny enough the absolute best. I sighed when i thought it would be sidelined by Skystar and his fucking issues all over again, but thankfully no, it all tied together beautifully. Shadowstar´s paranoia, looking at her own clanmates with fear that one of them tried to have her killed, while also having to face the decision to pick one of them as the next deputy, and next leader, WHILE also dealing with true mortality of being on her last life - all of it was so well balanced and intriguing. After that however, the real story began, and my skepticism began to wither. Sorry Sun Shadow, but even if i remembered you from dotc, your death was a mere plot device and not a very well written one. I wasn't a fan of beginning with a dog chase and the death of a character i didn't care much about. Boy how am i happy to be proven wrong sometimes! Reading the first three chapters had me thinking this would be another bad novella.
