I liked this. It was set in the same world as 'Ash', but several centuries earlier than that story. I liked seeing the big adventure leading up to the creation of the office of the King's Huntress. I think this was a very loose take off on one of the Snow Queen stories, like 'Ash' was a take off on the Cinderella story. It seemed to end rather abruptly, though. The second quest to find the cure to save the fairy Queen was crammed into a handful of pages, where the first part of their adventure covered over 300 pages. Then the story didn't even follow them all the way home, it just kind of petered out after they picked up the member of their party who'd been left behind along the way. And we don't get to find out what happened to Kaede and Taisin afterwards.
