This is the first book in Erin Hunter's latest series, Bravelands. I was expecting such good things from this series, as it features a lion, a baboon and an elephant on the great plains of Africa. And I did receive those good things, just not in the way I was expecting.
Fearless's courage and perseverance are definitely admirable, and I love how he was aptly named. He performed many great feats throughout this novel!
Thorn's loyalty and determination make me want to be more like him, and his faith in him and Berry is so cute. I really hope he gets what he deserves!
I also really hope that Sky knows how to handle her destiny, and that she pulls through for everyone, as I feel like she has a long road ahead of her.
I assumed that the characters would all meet at the start of the novel, so the fact that they didn't was kind of a let-down for me. I suppose it all is set up nicely for the next book though! Can't wait to see their relationships blossom, and see what adventures they all get into.
There were a few plot twists for me throughout this book, and also a bit of anger deep inside at the whole cheetah thing, as well as the murder thing. That surprised me so much! Poor Fearless and Thorn :( I don't agree with how Thorn changed at the end though, that really decreased things for me. Denial is one of the things I hate in stories. I want it all to work out though! Will be picking up the second novel soon!

The Hunters really improved their writing style in this book. There is so much suspense, action, and secrets hidden among the pages. The characters were all amazingly put together along with the different beliefs and ways of the different species. The villains were remarkable. This was an overall great beginning to a series that is sure to be a truly incredible story of betrayals, lies, and revenge.

I've been a fan of Erin Hunter's writing since the original Warriors series came out and I was so excited to hear about this book, lions have had a special place in my heart since I was a young girl.
But this book was just the worst yet, for me anyway. I had gotten it from the library two times now and I could not get into either time. Maybe I'll pick it up again at a later point if I ever buy it but this wasn't one of their best.

I really wanted to like this book. I honestly did. I love Warriors so much and have enjoyed Seekers. I have not read Survivors yet but I figured that Bravelands would be good. I was wrong.
This book was a slog to get through. I just could not get attached to the characters. I suppose I am getting too old for books like these even though I do enjoy Warriors quite a bit.

The book has amazing pace and leaves you wanting to turn every page. My favourite parts were definitely sky’s, I loved her as a character and seeing how the elephants lived in their groups was cool to get a new perspective on the savannah life.
I would recommend for anyone who likes animals or wants to learn more because although a fictional series I believe it reflects the Savannah life very accurately.

A decent book that unfortunately feels a bit mechanical and is lacking in the character-department.

A lion, a baboon, and an elephant rule the story in this animal series. African adventure that will appeal to those who like this author. Grades 3 and up.
