I don't tend to write book reviews BUT I feel like this Spirit Animal series (books 1-7) needs a little disclaimer. We found them because of the first book in the series tie to Brandon Mull. We knew nothing about them when we borrowed the audio book from our library.
The story is gripping and the writing is good. The main characters are charming. BUT I would say the overwhelming feel of the series is misery and loss.
These books have the surface qualities of any good tween fantasy novel; normal kids and magical creatures called on a quest to find magic objects and fight the battle of good vs. evil. However, the amount of death, loss, and plot twists is almost too much. I am not telling you to pass them by I only want to warn anyone interested that they aren't as innocent as they appear. Especially if you have an animal lover!
