Estelle Ford-Williamson liked Susan Heim's review of Rising Fawn: "I knew Estelle was a wonderful storyteller but Rising Fawn is not just a simple story - there are so many fascinating elements! This book could have been a whole trilogy because each character made me want to more about their story. "
