I really enjoyed this. Loved the fey and the werewolves and came to really care about the characters.
It's set in a fascinating secondary world (much of which is based off Brittany) and despite the medieval setting incorporates progressive gender roles and features strong, smart and competent characters of both sexes.
I think I'd also like a longer, slightly darker and more complex adult take on this story as well. (Sue, please write that for me :P) However, it works well as is and has a different style than most of the other YA first person fantasy books I've read, likely due to its medieval romance origins.
More detailed review to come sometime in the future.

There's a Wolfborn universe short story in Andromeda Spaceways 54 which may fulfil your request for something darker/adult. It's a development of that scene in Chapter 3 where Dame Eglantine remembers a werewolf-based event before she married Geraint, the werewolf knight. Nothing to scare the young reader, but definitely not YA either. :-)
