A Forest Divided by Erin Hunter
3.0
The plot was slow going but I think there was some very important character development in this one that was lacking in the previous books. It wasn’t as...awful, as the other ones. Truthfully, this prequel series is disappointing. There are some strong highlights, but overall it’s messy, not well thought out and confused.
I think the authors wanted so badly to give us a glimpse of why the clans are the way they are today, but it doesn’t come across as seamless as they hoped. I can’t say that I connect or appreciate the characters (other than Grey Wing) as much as I should. And quick deaths are leading me to be wary of who I want to invest my reading time in.
There’s just not much here to go off of. I will stand by what I said before, this shouldn’t have been a 6 part series. Drawing it out as much as we have does the integrity of the series a disservice.
