First, it was nice to see a different shape shifter for a change. Secondly, Rody is just so adorably cute in his way of speaking that you can’t help but to love him. Now that’s not saying that his limited speech capabilities aren’t hard to understand some times, but he just seems so adorably cute that you just overlook the limited speech patterns. He will eventually learn to speak better as he has a chance to exercise his vocal cords anyway.

Jeff was an interesting contrast to Rody, a Comanche Indian who has rejected his heritage in order to study something that has nothing to do with his ancestors. Of course, in this modern world, many Indians have had to do the same, so I can sympathize with him as far as his choices.

The twists and turns at this books conclusion were completely unexpected. Even though I read the book summary, I don’t think I grasped what would happen at the end. I certainly hope that there is another book in this series so that I can find out more about this new mating of coyote and man. I was very sorry to see the end of this book it was a great read.
