Very easy to read and it keeps you hooked and deeply invested in the characters. Rather long and complicated novel that is not what you expect it to be from the title & cover. Thought it was a young kids’ book. Rage’s mother is in a coma & she ® is on the verge of being put in a home. She & her 4 dogs set out to visit the mum – at night. R hears a voice promising a cure for her mother if she goes through the bramble gate.When she does- all her dogs (& a goat) who follow, change into semi-humans. Billy Thunder is the most human, one is a small elf, one a huge bear. Rage goes on a quest through the enchanted Valley which is slowly losing its magic to a great dark town that constantly changes shape and form to find the mysterious magician who can restore the magic & send her back into the world.p.50 to “longing” p.51 then to “Mr Walker began growling” to “I’ve never heard of it”. Rage meets a centaur. This is a pretty standard quest story - a girl travels through a magic land to find a wizard to save her ill mother. What made is special was the animals turned human characters - I could really feel the doggishness in their conversations and actions. To say nothing of the goat. no reviews | add a review
