Having grey eyes meant that she was a candidate for becoming the next Moon Woman. When really, Mari is actually part Companion and doesn’t look like an Earth Walker, except for her grey eyes. The tribe looks up to her to wash away the worst part of them.Įven though the tribe looks up to her, Leda has been keeping Mari’s condition a secret from them by making up excuses for Mari like she’s sickly. Mari’s mom, Leda, is the Moon Woman of her tribe in the Earth Walker community. Mari is the daughter of their tribe’s Moon Woman. The main character of this story is Mari.

So what happens when these two different lifestyles come together and fall in love? Of course, as you can imagine, the Earth Walkers resent the Companions and hide away from them. They think of them as mindless beings and a lot like how we view cattle. The Companions actually hunt down “Scratchers” (what they call Earth Walkers) to have them work their crops and serve them. These two groups of people don’t get along. The sad thing though, is if you die as a Companion, the dog dies of a broken heart. If you’re connected to a dog, then you know how that dog is feeling and sometimes what they’re thinking. But in this world, the dogs choose their Companion. Because in our world, we choose our dogs. This is something that I REALLY loved about the book. The Companions don’t choose the dogs, the dogs choose them. When the dogs are born and old enough, they choose a Companion to share their spirit with. She is pretty much their savior to keep living a “normal” life.Īn interesting fact about Companions: they are usually connected spiritually to a dog. So the Moon Woman is important to the Earth Walkers. They don’t completely transform into anything, the men just begin to act extremely violent and the women become beyond depressed and sad. At first, it reminded me of lycans and werewolves. The Earth Walkers live in burrows on the ground and the Companions live in the trees on platforms.Īn interesting fact about the Earth Walkers: if they don’t have a Moon Woman “wash” them with the power of the moon, then they will turn into something that they’re not. For example, the Earth Walkers choose to use the power of the moon to thrive and the Companions choose the power of the sun. They just choose to do so in different ways. They’re all about the same thing surviving in the world that they call home. There’s a few more, but these are the main ones.Įach group has their differences that the other groups loathe about them, or in all actuality: misunderstand. This NEW world has Earth Walkers, Companions, Skin Stealers, and “Scratchers”.

Just like our world, we have our “clicks” and races. Cast has created, there’s a segregation of differences among its people. This tale is about a whole different world that is much like our own, with a little more of a twisted sense. Cast is a wonderful book that challenged my human instincts in every way.
