Shifter and Shadow by Sharon Shinn - 4 stars

[annapi]

It's been 17 years since the last book of the Twelve Houses series came out, so I really remember nothing of these characters. But I still enjoyed this world and the story of the two shapeshifters who help a small community suffering from a disease with no cure except radical magic - and magic users are not always welcomed.

I was a bit disappointed when I realized this was a pretty short story at 178 pages, just a bit longer than a novella but not quite a full novel. No wonder I finished it in a day! It left me wanting more, and I hope Shinn continues to write more of this series.

Been looking for some older fantasy, but nothing I find is sitting right with me. This looks promising, and I am going to give Book 1 a try. Thanks for the review annapi!
