I really enjoyed this book. There was a portion part way through when things got very confused & it became hard to follow but I suspect that was precisely what the author intended it to feel/read like. In a way this reminded me of an old fairy tale or fable so imagine my surprise when the very first line in the end notes mentions that elements from a Grimm story provided inspiration for it. Very good although due to some emotionally difficult & semi-adult situations I wouldn't suggest it for anyone under the age of maybe 12 or so (dependant on the child of course). Very good read & I will be recommending it to my own 12 year old as well as many of my friends/families older children (or adults that like me aren't put off by more youthful reads or your typical age restrictions/recommendations). AMG has unleashed a power house Christian fantasy writer. I do not know why but somehow left this book sitting on my electronic shelf for nearly three years. Written as Christian allegory it is beyond great, the relationship between the wolf Ruyah and Joran is remarkable. Tightly woven plot and character development lead to a delightful tale. I just absolutely love the pithy sayings of Ruyah: 'There are two ways of getting home-and one of them is to stay there. 'The longest way 'round is the shortest way home.'
Started it, but it didn't draw me in. I'll have to try it again another time.
