For a short novella Bear Heart defiantly packs a punch. Klawdia being a female must partake of a challenge (the first in more than 200 years) against 54other boys from the neighboring tribes (Wolf, Snake, Hawgrald and Lion) In order to be able to rule the Bear clan after her father dies.From the get-go the book was fast paced and mesmerizing. I loved Klawdia's tough character and she defiantly made some hard choices during the trial and afterwards. Not that it was easy for her, Skelkra of the Wolves was defiantly a great bad guy and made me want to punch him in his naughty bits quite a few times. He just had that air of "I do what i want to get what i want no matter who it hurts or how badly i ruin someone" and that is what a great antagonist is all about.Jeykel and the other boys did not get much play time but they add to the story. Klawdia's father was another one I wanted to punch, since Klawdia was a girl she was below the males and thus could be hit, slapped, beaten without recompense. It bothers me a lot when this happens in books but i think that is what the author wants, emotion: and this book will give you that for sure!I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a short day read or a fan of fantasy and wants something different. The only complaint i think i have is the cover, it is god-awful creepy! I do not like it and I do not picture Klawdia looking so "I'm going to eat your soul"-ish. Other than that, great book.
