Wolf Speaker/Tamora Pierce

Wolf Speaker (The Immortals, book 2), by Tamora Pierce; young adult, fantasy, audiobook; 344 pages, about 8 hours listening

I think I expected this book to get a little cheesy, especially given the huge stretches where Daine is the only human character, and the rest of the book is populated by talking animals. Pierce kept things from getting hokey, however, and this turned out to be a really enjoyable book. Daine travels to the northernmost holding in Tortall at the request of a wolf pack, and finds the humans there are plotting treason. She gets trapped in the valley, and has to use her wits and her magic to keep herself alive, and save the kingdom at the same time.
