It mostly seems to be set in Not Bronze Age Europe, as seen by the fact that all the shapeshifters but one turn into animals you find scattered throughout Afro-Eurasia - horses, aurochs (okay, nobody shapeshifts into one, but they exist and so do domestic cattle), lions, tigers... and also coyotes.

That one misplaced detail wouldn't be so irritating* if there was also a tribe of shifter kangaroos or koalas. I'm just saying.

Oddly, nobody seems to shapeshift into any form of insect or other invertebrate. I say "oddly" because I didn't know he could write books without sapient invertebrates. Well, there's always the fanfic.

* I'm sure most readers consider this small potatoes, but then, most readers probably consider actual potatoes small potatoes when reading books set in Not Pre-Columbian Europe.

Just figured that out now.
