Yes a lot of the time I was going "what?" "why?" to a lot of stuff that you seemed to either have some background knowledge of already or I guess just not think about and carry on?
Things like the father being 'stuck' to his area and the family congregating around his area. The antlers - it took me a while before I realised it was calling back to the Hernehunter lord/beast god style of mythical history.
There were things that I pieced together over the book, like the most powerful man in the area would be the 'anchor' but not the how or why, and even at the very end of the book I didn't understand that about David.
It was these kind of things that left me a bit frustrated. Once the story got going I didnt mind so much, but I kept tripping over that kind of thing. But Huff writes a rollicking good story and I love her humour, its the thing that keeps bringing me back to her whatever she writes :) And I forgave her a lot for how overall good this book was. I was totally left going "there has to be more books in this - it must be a series" when I got to the end.
