Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Immortal Guardians (Spirit Animals: Fall of the Beasts, Book 1) by Eliot Schrefer


This is a fantasy that I think is targeting upper elementary or middle school kids.  If you have read

any of my reviews, you know I am fond of anthropomorphism.  The idea of spirit animals is intriquing to me and I am well, immeasurablebly well beyond middle school years.

This is the begining of a series that should be appealing to a wide range of kids.  It is well written and has a clever but not overly complicated plot.

I enjoyed it.
The author has garnered a number of awards and appears to be prolific in his writing.

Snyopsis: 
In the world of Erdas, every child must discover if they will summon a spirit animal, a rare and incredible gift. Conor, Abeke, Meilin, and Rollan were rare even among those few. They summoned four animals who were once Great Beasts, immortal guardians who sacrificed everything to end a brutal war.
 
Now, in the wake of that sacrifice, more special children are appearing all across Erdas who are connected to these legendary beings. But something else lurks in the shadows of this hard-won peace.
 
A dark force is hunting the Great Beasts, just as the world is rebuilding. Older and more powerful than even the Great Beasts themselves, it has slept for centuries beneath the surface of the world. Now it has awakened ...and if the young heroes can't stop it, it will consume everything.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
