A review by lillanaa
Spark and the League of Ursus by Robert Repino
5.0
This book was received as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I went into this expecting something far less intense than what this book is, and that's definitely not a bad thing. From minute one there's a huge amount of action, and it never stops which I absolutely love. A gem of a middle grade book, cute and easy to follow but also packed with action and adventure. It's adorable, which I expected from the synopsis, but at the same time there's something sinister about it, hitting basic human fears.
Most of these kind of books don't go below surface level feelings, but this... I wasn't sure how far it would go. I'm astonished by the fact that the characters seem actually fleshed out despite it being from the viewpoint of an extremely unreliable narrator. The characters are fun, Loretta is a really awesome one despite not having a ton of screentime, and all the bears are so cool!
All in all, one that I'd recommend to a lot of my friends who like middle grade books, the action never stops and the whole thing is so cute and fun at least in the end of it all.
