This was my first foray into the world K.J. Colt has created although now that I know this is part of a larger universe I'm keen to learn more.
This is pretty much a novella although that's not a bad thing in the slightest. You're thrown straight into the action with Klawdia and there's no real let up until the end. So it's short, but a fun read and then on to the next one.

Interesting, but gets caught up a bit consistencywise in politics/social mores. Not sure exactly where, but maybe it was just the weight of all the little pieces that didn't quite fit. The "you can be a female chief if you beat everyone else" totally fits, cool. But somehow after that, I couldn't quite buy the "no babies out of wedlock" EXTREME value with the apparently *equally* extreme "OMG NO ABORTIONS EVER" value, given that the stated reason for the value was population... that said, current society can be dumb about consistency as well. I don't know, it just seemed to get a little tied up in what freedoms she did or didn't have politically and socially.
That said, still not bad

First thought: different, thought it would be a shifters, but turned out to be a kind of historical, prehistoric kind of story, which I actually loved very much!
Allthough this was not what I was hoping for, the story turned out to be pretty great! It was really well written, nice and short (only a hundert pages) which makes this in my book a novella. I thought Klawdia was a strong character, I like her but in some cases she was a bit naive. But on the other hand, the betrayal came as a bit of a suprise even for me too. Ok another great thing about this book are the original names!! They sound a bit Scandinavian, also they go very well with the setting and the tribes.
All in all I enjoyed this very much and I am looking forward to reading the next installment in this series, because the author left us with a big cliffhanger! If you enjoy short reads with lots of action, a historical feel and strong hero this is for you!!!
