Digger, Volume Four by Ursula Vernon

5.0

Oh, that was painful. The real hero of this volume isn't Digger at all, though she's having a rough time of it what with having to swallow liver in a hyena death ritual - and explain herself afterwards to the hag while being dosed with purgatives vile (herbivores are not constructed to digest meat). No, the hero here is Ed. Poor Ed, and I won't comment on why he was exiled as that gets too close to spoilers, but it is gut-wrenching and compromising in so many different ways, and it gives this series an emotional punch that hasn't been there in the previous volumes.
