Book Review: Realm of Lost Spirits by Erin Hunter (Bravelands: Thunder on the Plains #3)

 

Well, here we are. The conclusion to the Bravelands series. Will it stick the landing, or will it fail? Let's see. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Breakers of the Code by Erin Hunter (Bravelands: Thunder on the Plains #2)

 

The second book of what seems to be the final Bravelands arc. I'm sad about it coming to a close soon, but at least it was overall a good series, unlike some other Erin Hunter properties.

Let's dive in, spoilers ahead.

New arc? I can't wait to get started! Spoilers ahead!

Book Review: Blood on the Plains by Erin Hunter (Bravelands: Curse of the Sandtongue #3)

 

Remember when Erin Hunter wrote trilogy arcs instead of six-book arcs? Yeah, me neither. This is literally a first. My guess (and that of a bunch of others as well) is that the Bravelands books weren't selling well enough, so they cut the second arc short and made it a trilogy instead. 

I do fear what this means for future non-Warriors Erin Hunter series, however. I feel like I am one of the few who always likes checking out their other stuff aside from the cat series. I like Warriors fine, don't get me wrong, but I have always appreciated Hunter branching out to other animals and series rather than just keeping up the Warriors grindset and nothing else.

Ah well, like it or not, this is the final installment of at the very least arc two of Bravelands, possibly the entire series. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Blood and Bone by Erin Hunter (Bravelands #3)

Halfway through the first arc. Despite some minor gripes I had with them, I really liked the previous two books. So how about the third? Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Broken Pride by Erin Hunter (Bravelands #1)

 

Guess who is finally getting to the Bravelands series after quite some time? Yep, it be me. Originally didn't want to pick up this series after the whole Gillian Philip debacle, but now that she has been booted off the Erin Hunter team I feel right picking up the series. Besides, she's not the only person to have had a hand in this series, Clarissa Hutton also does/did, and then there's arc 2 which is being written by different authors than Philip. 

So let's have a look. Spoilers ahead.
