While I understand that characters need to grow and evolve, the roundabout growth of some of them pissed me off greatly. If Lion didn’t kill fox, the cow will jump over the moon I ran permutations – since Leo didn’t kill the Wolf, and Orso didn’t kill the Lion (even though he was very mad at him for marrying Savine), ehn, the Owl wouldn’t kill the Lamb. My strong desire to know was from fear for Orso, who I had come to love because his outlook on life reflects mine on many levels. My suspicions hung heavily on Bayaz, the archmage or the treacherous new Arch Lector who took over from Savine’s father. However, I didn’t know who the Owl would be, and for most of this book, I kept guessing who the owl was. In ‘ A Little Hatred,’ Rikke had seen the future with her long eye – The Lion swallowing the Wolf, the Lamb swallowing the Lion, the Owl swallowing the Lamb – so it was relatively easy to see how the victories would go by the completion of the second book. The reveals in this book were positively heart-wrenching.
