It felt with this novel as though Elyne Mitchell reached the pinnacle of her storytelling craft. This showed us not just the animals and weather of the bush, but gave us the mystery of Baringa as he went hunting Dawn and was rumoured to be dead. It gave us tension in the form of waiting to see whether the black stallion would ever discover that Lightning had stolen his mares, and head to Quambat Flat to find them. The place names are iconic, the horse characters are written sensitively and with great beauty, and there was a real zip to the writing. This series was an end of pandemic read in an attempt to find reading mojo again, and this was the first novel where I found it really difficult to put down as it reached the main part of the action.Simply stunning.
