Review: Should have been better

This book has some wonderful elements- between Nina's Grandfather's shamanism, Cherokee legends of the Great Bear, and the alien shapeshifter who becomes a huge bear at will, it should/could have been a magical and mystical tale. It isn't. It had engaging characters, a great setting, and who wouldn't love a giant bear who can talk? I just wish it had been written with more sense of myth and magic. Worth reading, but not what I hoped for.
