Book Review: Wild Born by Brandon Mull (Spirit Animals #1)

 

Oh gods, this series. Okay, so when this was first announced me and my brother were super into this series as kids/teens, though we never actually read the books. Instead we (and especially me) played the online RPG that accompanied it, where you could create a character and were assigned an animal companion and had to complete various missions in this fantasy world. It was highly addictive and I managed to reach the max level and complete the main story-line in a really short time. 

After that there was not much left to do but some basic daily quests, so I quickly grew bored of it. Recently I decided to delve back into the game, however it turns out it's completely gone. Lost media even. Quite a shame, I had good memories of my short yet obsessive time playing it. As for the books...why don't I check them out, I mean, I have a library card now, right? 

Also: one last thing to note is that, much like the Erin Hunter pen name for Warriors/Seekers/Survivors/etc., each of the Spirit Animals books were written by a different author. Mull himself (as in, the actual person) only wrote the first book and a few side stories. The other books in the series are each written by a different author, but still use Mull's name as the author name. So that might affect how each book is written since it constantly switches between authors. Even for Erin Hunter there's a small select team of the same writers that (or at least used to be) that writes the books, so there was some semblance of consistency. I wonder if there'll be much of that in this author-rotating series.

So yea, book one. Spoilers ahead.
