Bravelands #1: Broken Pride Hardcover – June 6, 2017

Daughter is still reading but, she loves it

It kind of reminds me of the YouTube web series "My Pride" because the lions get their names based on who they are and the "law of the ancestors" where a prideless male must fight in single combat. And it also reminds me of the lion king because Fearless is banished from his pride and ends up living with a troop of baboons surviving on bugs. But Bravelands points out that a growing lion cannot live on bugs and must have meat. I'm only on chapter four but it shows great promise and I plan on buying the whole set on paperback when I can.

Erin Hunter has written yet again another amazing animal series. The book takes you deep into the African savanna, full of friendship, revenge, betrayal, mystery and just a hint of magic.I have to say I love this series (so far) almost as much as Warriors. While I do not agree with Erin's beliefs, she has a beautiful way of writing about animals. The story follows three young animals, a loyal baboon named Thorn, a broken-hearted lion cub named Fearless, and a future-reading elephant calf named Sky. These three animals are happy living their lives on the peaceful Bravelands. But when disaster strikes each young mammal, they must decide what path to take- the good, or the bad. Erin Hunter has done it again, with her fourth epic animal series. Truly a novel worth reading.

I'm very excited about Erin's new book series! This book isn't as good as the some of the Warrior Cat books, but it was still good. The book series so far has a very interesting plot. Also, If you have sensitive children who are going to read this, however, be warned. There is some slightly gruesome death and blood scenes, so if your children can't handle this, they shouldn't read the book. I find it very interesting to read in the opinions of African animals, I've never found a book that's done this before. All in all, the book was pretty good.

Any fan of the warriors would love this new series by Erin Hunter. Even if one has never read warriors or any other series written by Erin this is a great series to get into no matter ones age.The story follows three characters: Swiftcub the lion cub, Thorn a baboon looking to raise in rank, and Sky a young elephant. I admit, given what the summary was, the story seemed a little slow at first, however, as it picked up there twists I never saw coming and the way you grew attached to the side characters especially made the story all the more worthwhile.I have suggested the book to anyone who either loves Erin Hunter stories or just the animals which are portrayed here. The story is fantastic.

This book would be a great gift for anyone who likes suspense, the prospect of betrayal, and hidden secrets. There are incredible highs and overwhelming lows. Anyone who is a great detective might find out the worst secret of all, the one who committed the worst crime. In my own experience, I nearly cried when I found out who it was. If anything, this book deserves more attention than the Warriors series did in my opinion. Of course, if you don't want to feel betrayed as much as two of the main characters did, I wouldn't recommend reading it. I'm not going to force you to read this book, but if you like to feel as if you're watching it all happen, I would certainly recommend this book.

I have been reading to my twin daughters at bed time since they were three years old. We have read the Survivor series and the Seekers series. They are now thirteen and this series has them absolutely captivated.

My daughter is LOVING this new series! She is ready for more! Has already read Warriors, Survivors, & Seekers. She LOVES them all! She is also re-reading many of her Warriors. I don't know how she does it, but she gets it done! Erin Hunter is aweome! Not only does my Sassy love her books, but my other older teens read most of her books while they were younger. This is gonna be a BIG hit like Warriors, we think!

Absolutely loved this book . Read it Aloud to my 7 year old. The language is so rich and engaging we just loved it !

I had no idea what to expect when I picked up Bravelands. I didn't even know Erin Hunter was making an African Savannah type series. Lets just say, I am actually shocked at how good this book is. I won't give anything away. I have never read a book with my mouth gaping in shock at almost every chapter. Ever. This book will entertain you. It is fast paced and just FULL to the brim with juicy chapters. I don't know how Hunter does it, but I really felt like I was right there in the story. I could feel everything the characters were going through. Erin Hunter does not hold back with this book or sugar coat it. It is raw.This book is definitely for an older audience because things get brutal in this book.

My children are huge Erin Hunter fans and have said that this is another really good book from her.

nooooooooooooooThat end I really wanted to cry out loud, it was sad and a total cliffhanger.Why do we have to wait for another long time until the next book comes out.Fearless is a lion cub that had to run away from his pride to save himself. He finds shelter and a surrogatefamily with baboons. Stinger the baboon rescues him out of tree and this is how Fearless meets the baboon troop. Here he becomes great friends with the baboons Mud and Thorn who will doing their three feats to find out their place in the troop.The story has some turns that are not out of the normal box and are great to follow. Later in the story the young elephant Sky comes in who gets a warning through bones and tries to warn here family.This book is about animals in the wild and migration and family ties.

Excellent first book in a new series from "Warriors" series authors Erin Hunter.
