I started with the sequel to this story, I guess; unless, like Star Wars Prequels, Klune jumped ahead and now writes us back to the beginning of the Bennet Wolf Pack story. In any event, either way, it Really Really Works. Kirt Graves has it down, pure and simple. He is a masterful storyteller who works the Klune script hypnotically. 5 stars all the way. I laughed and I sure as hell cried. Beautiful writing with consistently spell binding narration.
