Haven't read the book yet, but, um, Victoria, there's this whole
boy/girl thing, y'know?
To quote Herself in another setting (DI), "She had the kind of
cheekbones that make men get morosely drunk, write bad poetry, and
desert their regiments." (From memory, not verbatim.)

Chapter 3
<snip>
My main issue with this chapter.... Dag behaved counter to his
established behavior and demonstrated characteristics in chapters one
and two.
He, an experienced patroller/soldier-analog, ignored a known threat in
favor of cooing over a doe-eyed girl. Since Fawn was not hysterical from
the near rape, he had no legitimate reason to stop his hunt and lose
several hours getting her to safety. This sudden and unexplained hard
left turn in Dag's character development pulled me out of the story.
There was no explanation either internally through thought or externally
in description for Dag's sudden change in operating procedures.
