Just how many animal sidekicks does this series have in total? We're at three now. I love it, though.

For some reason I really struggle with reading series. Usually I finish first book very quickly but when it comes to sequels I get this reluctance and it takes a while to finish the books. I have no problem with this one though. Each sequel is better then preview. After three books the story remains interesting, relationships between main characters are slowly developing. On one hand we have relationhip between Pirra and Hylas. At the begining of the series they weren't really friends but they slowly become and in this last book their relationship is taking a whole new direction. Let me just say I totally ship them and I hope this is not just in my head. I will be very disappointed if at the end of the series they don't end up together. On the other hand we have relationship between Telamon and Hyllas and Pirra. Telamons point of view makes a story even more interesting and his anger and jealousy of Hyllas is writen very good. Sometimes I even sympathise with him. Still I hope that at the end of the series he will switced sides again.
When I was reading the first book I couldn't get used to reading from animals point of view but now I did and honestly I can't imagine not having it in the book.
As for the plot this one is the best so far. Book is full of unpredictable twists, more than once the story shocked me and during the whole book I was amazed. I really enjoyed the last 50 or so pages, after fight when we discover a little bit of Hyllas past. Can't wait for more!

Despite not realizing until 3 or 4 chapters in that this was the THIRD book in a series (of which I have not yet read books 1 or 2) I really enjoyed this one. Think Clan of the Cave Bear combined with Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series. This is two young teens in the Bronze age making friends with lion cubs and falcons and trying to keep the evil guys away from a mystical knife.

There are definitely parts that would have made more sense had I read the first two books but it was still an enjoyable read and the "voices" of the lion cub and falcon are fabulous additions to the story that makes it a delight to read.
