The orphaned, scruffy, wise-cracking Rollan; the painted, oft expressionless warrior Meilin; and Conor, the shepherd boy, had been tossed together without a choice. The small group was wary, at best. Abeke, with her bizarre elephant pilus bracelet; had been "tricked" into aligning with the power-hungry Conquerors, and was not a welcome add-on to the trio.The iv youngsters had only one affair in common, but information technology was paramount. Having recently come of historic period, sipped the sweetness Nectar Ninani, each bonded with, not just whatever spirit animal, but 1 of the Iv Fallen. In that location is just i tiny task. To save the world.
The success of the mission hinges on the cohesiveness of the team. The multi-faceted concept of trust is brilliantly displayed as Abeke must earn the trust of the grouping; Rollan must learn to trust, and Meilin must choose whether to trust her spirit beast or her own intuition.
This action-packed, mystery-filled adventure is completely captivating with colorful characters and carefully subconscious life lessons. Ms. Stiefvater's delightful descriptions of the determinedly cheerful Lord of Glengavin paints the picture of a red-bearded giant whole-heartedly, enthusiastically and unabashedly, displaying his wide range of emotions from toddler-like atmosphere tantrums to giddy joy.
Hope springs eternal as feisty Dawson, young sibling of the horrible Devin, craftily displays whose side he is truly on. His abrupt, almost apologetic, kindness is endearing and serves to soften the utter rottenness of his fellow Conquerors.
The mysterious, heavily tattooed Finn is the honey on this Nov-Block of a novel. The brunt of scouting for the quarreling new Greencloaks doesn't seem to rattle him. He patiently teaches them how to code; sending messages by pigeon. Gradually and quietly, his story is revealed. Subtle mentoring moments threaded throughout the adventure tie perfectly together at the story's end.
Of course, the concluding sentence isn't true. The author is Maggie Stiefvater. And Spirit Animals is a serial. Equally Hunted answers some questions, many mysteries remain unsolved, new quandaries have appeared and…..well, let's just say the reader volition exist ecstatic to know that Claret Ties (Spirit Animals #three) is available.

This series also has a bit of a handicap for me, because information technology seems so apparently oriented towards turning turn a profit, since it'south Scholastic and information technology'southward "multiplatform." I gave information technology a shot because of its star-studded cast of authors, but even Maggie Stiefvater, couldn't give this one nuance or complexity, and it was banal enough that I'yard not immediately going to pick up the next book, despite the fact that I love Garth Nix.
I'd recommend this to younger kids, especially ones who love animals, though.

I tried to read the first one in this serial and it was and then bad it was unfinishable - the characters were all with manufactured sob stories and sorted into Sparklypoo.This is much amend than that. I read it because I actually like this author (they're doing a thing where each book in the serial has a different author).
But honestly? Even though this is well written, and gives the characters nuance and depth and is easy to read, it's just and so nonsensical. Fucking stupid decisions made. People are in hand to hand combat with wild animals like panthers, and at the end no-one gets hurt. It'south impossibly bad. People beat these animals effortlessly, and they're meant to be the greatest reincarnated spirits or something. Like, seriously? And for gods sake, kill your enemies when you defeat them. It's the good guy equivalent of tying Bail up and turning on the laser and leaving the room.
Anyhow, even though the side by side author is Garth Nix who I love, I won't be continuing this serial. It is just too awful.

I've never read one of Stiefvater's books earlier, but I've heard the praise.
This score isn't about the author, it's nearly my enjoyment of the book.
I thought the writing was better in this than the get-go one (though, information technology IS a dissimilar author).
The characters don't develop much, and the story stays depthless.

Hunted is the 2nd in the Spirit Animals series, and is written by one of my favorite authors of all time - the amazing Maggie Stiefvater! In fact, when the library was missing (of form) their copy of the second of the series, I didn't hesitate to buy a copy for myself because I was so sure it would be crawly.

~*Cheque out all my reviews over on The Bent Bookworm!*~Hunted is the second in the Spirit Animals series, and is written by ane of my favorite authors of all time - the astonishing Maggie Stiefvater! In fact, when the library was missing (of form) their re-create of the 2d of the series, I didn't hesitate to purchase a copy for myself because I was so sure information technology would be awesome.
iii.5/5 stars, rounded to four. I was mildly disappointed. It's not a BAD volume, by whatsoever ways, I just wanted so much more from the characters! I feel like we are barely getting to know them as they traipse all over the world doing all these dissimilar things - which all keep getting interrupted.
The plot WHIZZES along...which I call up will exist very good for the young centre-grade readers the serial is aimed at. I idea we'd left the horrible, sniveling Devin behind in the outset book, merely oh no! He comes back. Somehow bullying pre-teens are much scarier to me than even literal backstabbing adults. I actually felt ill during some of the scenes with him, he's just so mean!
Our quartet is off to find another reclusive Great Brute, to ask to borrow its talisman to use in the fight confronting the Conquerors coming from a far land. The Conquerors have a powerful new weapon in their quest to control all of the known lands - a replacement for the Nectar, the Bile, which forces the spirit fauna connection. Along the way all sorts of things happen...choices are made. I similar that the characters make kid-way decisions, they're not adults in kids' bodies. Of course some of the choices cause issues...simply hey, that's what happens.
Finn is an new character in this book, and I am SUPER intrigued by him, especially after what happened in the very terminal scenes of the story. Even though he's an developed, I feel similar we will see a lot more of him.
The ending is, as 1 might expect, a cliffhanger - and QUITE a cliffhanger at that! The ending and Finn are what made nosotros round this up to iv stars. I'one thousand immediately picking upwardly the next one.

Devin is a specially annoying villain, because he's a bully. He's a groovy who didn't go something that the poor shepherd got so he has to steal/buy it for himself to feel special. Major Draco vibes with him.
I really liked the Scottish-esque vibes that MacDonnell'south castle gave off. Really wish they had spent more than time at that place. I loved I thought this would be more hard to become back into than it was. Afterwards remembering who each character was and what animate being their bond was, it was pretty easy.

What intrigues me about the books are the peachy development of the characters and their bonds with and agreement of their spirit animals. New bad guys and Greencloak helpers are added or disappear in each volume, or at to the lowest degree, that is the example in this 2nd book. Joining the good guys is the mysterious and melancholy, heavily tattooed Finn, who has lost his spirit animate being. Added to the evil Heroes is Devin, the big-headed son of Earl Trunswick who has been aroused with Conor e'er since Conor called a spirit animal and he did not. Devin has been given Bile, an evil parallel to Nectar, which forces a compulsive bond with spirit animals. There are plenty new characters and complications to spice up the similar take chances quests. Our heroes are still struggling to empathize their animals and go a cohesive unit with each other. Not to mention, their concern for their families while they are off beingness heroes undermines their wholehearted commitment to a cause they are not sure is the best direction.
Unlike the first book, this i concluded with more a cliff-hanger catastrophe, pulling me to read the next in the series, Claret Ties. And yep, I immediately tried to get information technology from the library but information technology has four active holds in forepart of me and WalMart didn't have it. The fourth i Fire and Ice has 24 holds already. I call up that is an indication of the series popularity!

My large mistake was thinking these were all books in the same story globe, but with unlike authors and different characters. No--they are a truthful series.

I read this without reading the first book. Aye, I read information technology because Maggie Stiefvater wrote information technology. I actually am a fan of Brandon Mull, too, just somehow missed the connection with book 1. Wish I'd read that one start.My big mistake was thinking these were all books in the aforementioned story earth, but with different authors and different characters. No--they are a truthful series. Aforementioned characters throughout, as far equally I can run into. And then, this limits the author's manner, which of course, for me, was a disappointment because this doesn't read like Stiefvater's other books. I didn't expect it to be similar her YA stuff--I've read Pip Barlett and really enjoyed it--but I did await more than...spunk.
Yeah, I know, that's plain, old-fashioned bias. So allow me say, I can totally see why this series will be a hit with unproblematic kids. I do love the idea behind it, the whole spirit beast thing and how they get tattoos when dormant--so absurd! I liked the characters, and they did take distinctive voices. It'due south a series I'd recommend for kids in this historic period grouping because information technology is well-written and an enjoyable story with lots of action and characters kids can relate to.

I observe it odd that Connor's family would write him and brunt him with their troubles. They understand how importa
I liked the action in this book and how the kids are condign comfortable with the spirit animals, peculiarly Meilin. She seems so impatient and I think that Jhi volition indeed help her to find her residue. Of course at the cease of the book, she is making a reactive choice out of frustration for what Connor has done, simply she is at least nicer to her creature than she was in the showtime.I find it odd that Connor's family would write him and burden him with their troubles. They understand how important his mission is, but would add to his stress. As well, how could he easily trust the Earl of Trunswick. The Earl could easily damage his family AFTER he receives what he wants. Also, Dawson is only a child, he can't insure that his father volition do annihilation, merely I like Dawson. He is truly a free thinker and knows the departure betwixt correct and wrong. I hope to see him more in future installments of the serial. He shows that you lot don't need a spirit animal to make an impact. Flaming hay!
Maggie Stiefvater did an excellent job on this installment. I tend to similar these types of series where there is more than 1 writer. Y'all truly get to see the difference in their delivery and style. On to the next installment Claret Ties.

In that location is a lot of adventure and a lot of fighting, simply at that place is too a lot of observation and then figuring things out. Along the way the kids have to larn to work as a squad, to depend upon their spirit animals and each other.
