Plot
I'm getting uncomfortable with the zombie-like plot, but I really love the whole Spirit Animal series. The audio books, narrated by Nicola Barber are excellent and help tie in all the different styles of authors.
3.5 stars. It's getting a bit grim for our protags! I am enjoying the series, but miss some of the lighter-hearted moments. Looking forward to the next instalment.

book 8 of schwab-athon DONE!
um...okay Queen Schwab. I was not expecting this.
OH MY HEAVENS did I love this book. I was 100% not expecting to like this very much but what can I say? I am a sucker for Schwab's novels. (haha see what I did there angie?)
this was the second book in apparently the second series of the Spirit Animals. Might I add, I have never read a single spirit animal book before this one, so as it can be imagined, I was SUPER confused in the beginning. I was like Angelina when she picked up [b:The Wicked King|26032887|The Wicked King (The Folk of the Air, #2)|Holly Black|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1520620414l/26032887._SY75_.jpg|45959180] instead of [b:The Cruel Prince|26032825|The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air, #1)|Holly Black|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1574535986l/26032825._SY75_.jpg|45959123] haha. I was supposed to already know all the characters and their different spirit animals and the villains and basically the whole plot, which I did end up figuring out with some help from google.
The villains (i am pretty sure are both Zerif and The Wyrm) were SO INCREDIBLY EPICC. they were so creepy and it gave me chills when the parasite (The Wyrm) was infecting everyone.
I felt very connected with the four main characters instantly. That, my friends, means that we should all give three cheers for Queen Schwab. I loved each of them, but my fav was Rollan. I felt like I related to him. However, I am still trying to decide whose spirit animal was the coolest. The Falcon, Wolf, Leopard, or the Panda. Probably Leopard.
This wasn't much of a plot-driven story because it was the second out of like seven books but it was still so intriguing, but it isn't very long haha. There were many moments when I was begging for more and I was actually very disappointed when it ended, I just wanted more!
but that's the thing. I feel like I want to read this whole series but...there is a small problem. there are no more that is written by our dear Queen Schwab. I don't know if I can handle it being written by so many different authors when I have read it by the best one. But I mean...I will never know if I don't try...so maybe in the future, you shall see me pulling these books out of my pocket and binge-reading them all haha.
anyways, I honestly do hope that I read more of these later because I truly did love this book and would love to finish this story because it kind of did end on a cliffhanger...heh.
anyways! I hope everyone has a wonderful evening! : )

lol, props to V.E.S. for giving me the most creepy-a villain I've ever seen in a middle grade novel. Hah.
"There are no easy roads in life. There are no hard ones either. There are only paths we choose to take, and the places they lead us."
"Oh, yeah? What about when you choose one path, but it's filled with white-eyed monsters, so you have to double back and take the other road?"
This book was infinitely better than I was initially expecting. The characters were so like V.E.'s other characters. Full of life, depth, and strength. My favorite character was Rollan, who was just adorable and insecure and desperately needed a hug.
One critique I would make of this book is that it wasn't quite long enough. I wanted to see more plot, I wanted to see the gang come together, but I was definitely stuck in an extremely long cave-scene for literally half the book.
Also, the VILLAIN definitely needed more page time, because he was soooooo cool and hecka creepy. Also, the pArAsiTe?!?!?
Bully Maguire, I figured out where Venom came from...this bOoK!
ANyways, have a lovely Sunday

I honestly only picked up this book because Victoria Schwab is my favorite author, and I want to read all the books she's published.
at the risk of giving a spoiler this book was action packed and quite bleak I can't wait for the next 2 books which I have all ready

If you've been friends with me for a little while, you should know how much I love Victoria Schwab. (I usually call her Queen Schwab....) Everything she writes, I fall in love with. This was somehow different but also not.
This was different because the characters in this book were not hers and I could tell. But it also wasn't because her writing gripped me from beginning to end and I couldn't put this book down. I was a bit lost in the first book since this is a spin-off series and I haven't read the original series but since I read the previous book, I wasn't so lost anymore and it just left me wanting more. I really got into the plot and I just want to know what's going to happen next. I wouldn't know how to summarize this though since it's a pretty well-built world and I wouldn't know where to start. But really, if you like adventure and fantasy and middle-grade books, you should give those series a chance.
