When Lowell Sencha finds the strange girl lying as if dead on the riverbank, he is startled to find that she is like them: waer. Human, but able to assume the form of a wolf. The Sencha family's small community has kept itself sequestered and unnoticed, free from persecution. The arrival of a fellow traveller, and a hunted one at that, threatens their very survival. Sure enough, the soldiers of the blood-purist Daeman Leldh soon descend on the village searching for her, burning and slaughtering. Lowell and the mysterious stranger are among the few to escape. And now they must find their way to the city of Luthan where, she says, they will find people to help them bring down Daeman Leldh. If she can persuade them not to kill her. This brilliant young adult fantasy debut from young Australian writer Meg Caddy sees the emergence of an exciting new talent in speculative fiction. Meg Caddy started writing her debut novel Waer when she was fourteen years old. She hasn't had much of a life since! Waer was shortlisted for the 2013 Text Prize, and released by Text Publishing in 2016. Meg has been mentored by fantasy novelist Juliet Marillier, and spent time as a resident and a Young Writers' tutor at the Katharine Susannah Prichard Writers' Centre. For the past seven years, Meg has been working with children of all ages. She is obsessed with pirates. 'An astonishing debut...The writing is assured, the action is swift and the characters ring as true as Caddy's psychological insights.' West Australian 'This book has broken my heart, collected my soul and has me falling in love with it!' Tilly and Her Books blog 'This novel has all the fast-paced action and enjoyment of the first Eragon novel, but it is far more layered and original.' Incredible Rambling Emily 'A cracking adventure story...Brimming with excitement and incident.' Reading Time 'An accomplished debut...[A] great example of a well-crafted YA fantasy...The descriptions are lush and the prose is gorgeous.' Speculating on SpecFic 'This book does not let you go once you start...Incredibly addictive and fast paced.' Readers in Wonderland 'A new world of shape-shifters and a time-honored battle between good and evil come alive in Caddy's debut fantasy for teens.' Kirkus 'This is a tale of, among other things, righteous revenge, told in alienating chapters by the two main characters, whose perspectives convey the impact of the difficult circumstances on even the most gentle people...Love wins out in this well-constructed world, mapped literally and figuratively by the author.'

6/10, looking back at this I actually enjoyed it though I'll doubt that I'll pick this one up again now seeing all the glaring flaws that it has however I didn't notice them at first when I picked this up and thought it as just another good fantasy read, where do I begin. It starts with the main character Lowell living his normal life in the land of Oster when suddenly he comes across an unconscious person lying on the riverbank and for one reason or another he brings her back to health. Her name was Lycaea and she and Lowell turned out to be wolf shifters and apparently a person named Daeman Leldh wants them hunted down maybe due to his hatred of that ethnicity, I don't really know. In the middle Lowell and Lycaea don't do that much other than explore the main city with lots of markets and prisons and other buildings yet somehow I couldn't really connect to either character since they weren't developed or fleshed out enough; that irritated me a little bit. Towards the end of the book the action finally picks up when Lowell was sent to prison probably by Daeman and his accomplices/allies but Lycaea helps him escape and take him down though I do feel that it's a little bit rushed since it only spanned like 50 pages or something like that and could've been more thought out; at least it wrapped up the book on a high note.
