The humans living in Lakeside are face with a much steeper change of circumstances now that the terra indigene have reclaimed most of the lands. Simon and the courtyard Others struggle to determine just how much they need and want to change now that they have Meg and the human pack to think about. The theme of change is central to this book. So how much human is too much? Not only in the numbers of the human pack that now lives in the courtyard and relies on its resources, but also in the interactions they have with those humans and how much they allow themselves to change. Since terra indigene transform to take the traits of the strongest predators, they can become too human and risk losing part of what makes them wolfguard or sanginati. No, Simon, Vlad and the others need to decide for themselves as well. And that answer is not only for the Elders who took an interested in Meg and the curious relationship terra indigene and humans have in the courtyard. How much human should the terra indigene keep? This is the question that Simon and all the Others at the Lakeside courtyard have to answer. I have been following this series since its debut, so if you are interested in reading my other reviews, just click on the links: book one, book two, book three, book four. And let me tell you, they both made big steps in this book, both individually and towards each other, but we’ll get to that in due time.įirst, a bit of shameless self-promotion. “What are Meg and Simon up to now?” I ask myself. So I can’t help to be excited when I got my hands on Etched in Bone.

I love the worldbuilding I love the characters I love the stories in each subsequent book.
