Sometimes plodding but the descriptions of the animals were the best - funny, lovable and so many characters.  The descriptions of the people/scenery were good but the animals really brought the book to life for me.  Some of the action scenes were excellent.The author has great talent.SPOILER:Loved the 'day from hell' Samantha had at the end - really funny.The possible/planned destruction didn't make sense.  Also I really didn't get if Samantha was clear on which man she was going to decide on.  I could have used an epilogue to make things a bit more clear.One horse did die and it was sad but did not overpower the book with sadness.3 1/2 stars poss 4 stars with an epilogue.
