Continuing in Dangerous Women--Name the Beast is an interestingly written story. The protagonist is a schict, a member of a race of somewhat wolf-like beings that live among humans. It is very mystical in approach, but with some very ordinary grounding elements. Kalindris has a strained, mystical relationship with her husband and a very ordinary, irritated relationship with her child. We also see humans, and her complex reaction to them. Humans are for killing, but...
It's different enough in approach, and decent enough, to give 3 stars. Not so easy to read, but worth it.
