Description: Nothing says "home" like being attacked by humans with very large guns, as Jane and Anyan discover when they arrive in Rockabill. These are professionals, brought into kill, and they bring Anyan down before either Jane or the barghest can react. Seeing Anyan fall awakens a terrible power within Jane, and she nearly destroys herself taking out their attackers. Jane wakes, weeks later, to discover that she's not the only thing that's been stirring. Something underneath Rockabill is coming to life: something ancient, something powerful, and something that just might destroy the world. Jane and her friends must act, striking out on a quest that only Jane can finish. For whatever lurks beneath the Old Sow must be stopped...and Jane's just the halfling for the job.
I Give This ...
I kind of forgot about this series for awhile. I guess it just hasn't been on the top of my to-read list, so it got pushed back. I made the effort to get catch back up and I'm glad I did.
Its interesting having Jane's point of view in this one. Since she's was basically unconscious for a month, the world went out without her. That's a whole lot of time for the bad guys to come up with a plan. It's also a long time for Anyan to wonder if she will make it through, and to realize exactly how he feels about that. She seems to spend the rest of the book trying to catch up with everyone else. I did really appreciate the fact that she's willing to become the champion now. I think she recognizes that she's doesn't have to be something extraordinarily special. She may not think she can help, but she will do her best.
I like how this book introduced us to something new. Turns out there are mythical creatures as old as the earth itself. They're mostly dominant, but extremely powerful. Rockabill is home to one of those, leading us to realize that it's really no coincidence that so many creatures come to Rockabill and never leave. I was extremely curious as to what this creature was or what he could do. Interesting to see how he was connected to Jane and to Blondie.
I felt that this one was a little slower than the others. Still really good though and set up the stage for the showdown that occurs in book 5!
