But yeah she's only sixteen- have to be realistic I guess. <br /><br />I loved the idea of the circus being all shifters. And unusual shifters at that. Traveling around w/ their secrets- I liked it. And they tried to suppress their animal natures to some extent- only to find they needed them.

I have to remind myself sometimes too that a character is young and to cut them a bit of slack. I can absolutely understand wanting her to be a little more kick ass though, but hopefully that will come in the future ones with time. Fantastic review!
