While poking around for that information, I found the author's website and Discovered my Darkbeast--I got a raven, too.

Stood out to me when I was in the bookstore the other day when I decided I NEEDed to read this without even reading what it was about. :) Thanks for the review.

I like the cover, too....*raises hand* Ooh ooh, me!<br /><br />I like the cover, too. I did a quick experiment with my two tame children and my daughter definitely found it more appealing-looking than my boy. (He is, by the way, perfectly happy to read books featuring girls, but presumably isn't so drawn to girly covers.)Anne E.G.
