Well, since she's said that there are more werewolves in the universe because she's found more myths about people turning into wolves...it's not all that surprising. Yet at the same time she's got this whole secret society of tiger clans?
I'm still struggling to wrap my mind around A Shiver of Light -- fairies! You can literally do anything you want with them! It's not like you're entirely beholden to folklore. But fairies in a world where they've been out in the open for at least a couple of hundred years, yet modern medical science knows exactly jackshit. And immortal warriors of legend totally hit the gym. Not even to practice sparring (though you'd think they'd have their own fighting styles given they're from a whole other society), just lift weights and running. Also they use human firearms. Where are the fae weaponsmiths. Where are the enchanted McGuffins, like a bow that always aims true or darts that carry enchantments. I don't know if LKH has never considered these things before or what. Mostly it just creates so much wasted potential that frustrates me to no end.
