Book Overview
The fight against the evil Lord Ursus continues, and the fate of the battle lies in the hands of fifteen-year-old Clovermead Wickward. Chandlefort's army is in need of reinforcements, and Clovermead is charged by her mother, Lady Cindertallow, to seek allies among the nomadic Hordes of the Tansy Steppes. At the same time, Lord Ursus has dispatched Clovermead's old enemy Lucifer Snuff to contest her. A battle of diplomacy ensues, and it is only one of many struggles that Clovermead must face.First, Clovermead must choose between her mission to the Hordes and the pleas of her best friend, Sorrel. All the while the survival of Chandlefort is pitted against Clovermead's promise to free Lord Ursus's enslaved bears. But the most painful choice of all awaits Clovermead in a face-to-face confrontation with Lucifer Snuff. In the end, Clovermead must decide between the logic of war and her heart's instinct for mercy, relying on her sacred gifts -- the ability to shift into bear-form and to speak the bear-language -- to have even the slightest chance at victory.In an epic tale of honor, love, and redemption, David Randall follows Clovermead and Chandlefort with an adventure determining the fate of nations and human souls.

An engaging read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Like the books before it in the series, _Sorrel_ is an exciting adventure tale. I am really interested in the characters, so once I got started with this book, I was eager to see how the story would unfold. I felt like the focus was more on interpersonal interactions in this book, as opposed to what was happening inside Clovermead's head in the previous books. The change allowed for more development of other characters. The choices and challenges facing all of the characters were worthy of my attention and also kept me engaged. It is a pleasure reading Randall's work.
Worthy sequel

"Sorrel" is the third installment in David Randall's "In the Shadow of the Bear" tale. Happily, it has all the wit, charm, and excitement of "Clovermead" and "Chandlefort" and it maintains the freshness and high quality of the series. Like the earlier books, it's wonderfully paced. I hope we won't have long to wait for the continuation.
