First, I'm not generally a fantasy reader, but I do LOVE short stories. Having read other works by Maria E. Schneider, I knew she was a good story teller, and she really came through on this story. From the very first sentences, I was hooked, intrigued by the character Jolan. I don't want to give the plot away, since it's a short story, but let me say this: if you enjoy a truly well-told tale, with characters you can root for, and an ending that will make you smile, get Year of the Mountain Lion and read it now.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
