Mikoto and the Reaver Village – Forthright

The Amaranthine are a recently-revealed-to-humanity culture of magic-using shape changers. They are allied with magic-using humans known as Reavers. The perhaps-defining characteristic of this culture is not the magic and not the shape changing, but that most of them are nicer people than we are.

MatRV (It is Forthright’s semi-joke that all the books in the main series have a protagonist named ‘Miko’) comes closer than the other books in the series to be fan fiction. Many of the characters are familiar secondary characters from earlier books, and most of the story interest comes from youngsters dealing with approaching love and/or marriage. This book will not work for readers who have not read earlier books in the series. For those who have, it will be fun.
