I love, love, love this book so much. Possibly my favorite book from this series?

2021 reread: I remembered this as my least favorite of the series, and it was the best of the bunch on this reread. I liked: kids being kids (Maura), Tkaa, the more limited scope of the plot (a single bad guy plot!), the wolves; plus the idea of being able to turn into an animal at will is a wish fulfillment magic that still rings very true.

I really liked the addition of all the immortals in this book. This book was a little less exciting than the first, but it had its moments.

This was alright. It was not as good as the first book.
The things I like about this series are simple. I like Numair, and I like finding out why Ozorne is evil now when he was so cool as a boy. At the beginning, this book was promising - we ran into one of Numair's old classmates from wizard school! Aha!
That's basically it, though. From there, Numair and everyone else pretty much leaves the stage and we are left watching the Daine and Every Single Animal Show. It's... fine. I like Daine well enough, but I struggle to care about the animals, and this was just too much for me. Just so many animals, and so little of anything else.
