It was okay. It did keep me interested enough to keep reading. Will I read it again… probably not but I am glad I read it and did enjoy it. Compared to the previous book in the series, this one fell a little flat for me.

Elva and Donnacha! What a beautiful pair of mismatched personalities, yet they completed each other perfectly! In this new book by Emma Hamm, the Celtic mythology meets the tale of East of the Sun, West of the Moon where a Dwarf is cursed to be a bear and an elf warrior has to remain with him.
The story is wonderful with amazing scenery and details, yet the depth is given to Elva's character who may be damaged but strives to surpass her own fears and problems. I loved the humor and the fighting scenes and the ending was worthy for both of them.
No, seriously Emma Hamm has taken the classics and reimagined them into a whole new level! Her writing is stellar!
