Ein richtig guter Auftakt mit einem tollen Setting und einer spannenden Handlung (der eine oder andere Plottwist-Schocker ist auch dabei). Und es gibt einen Elefant, der aus den Knochen der Toten lesen kann. Wollte ich nur mal so erwähnen. :)

De Bravelands-serie is heerlijk om te lezen! De drie hoofdpersonages (een olifant, een leeuw en een baviaan) beleven elk avonturen gerelateerd aan hun kudde, maar de verhaallijnen komen ook samen. Net als in Warrior Cats heeft Erin Hunter een unieke setting gecreëerd waarin sociale rangordes, religie, liefde en vriendschap voorkomen. Kinderen kunnen met deze boeken heerlijk wegdromen, maar ook volwassenen kunnen zich perfect amuseren tijdens het lezen!

I am not the target audience for this type of book. I read it in preparation for Battle of the Books. Will I read the sequels? No. Did I find it a little too dramatic? Yes. Was I also surprised that I actually kind of enjoyed it? Yes.

Une belle histoire qui aborde le sujet des familles différentes du modèle traditionnel.
Par contre, globalement, je ne sais pas trop où l’histoire s’en va

This author definitely knows the art of world-building. I think that this book is a great fantasy read. I would recommend ages 8-13.

4.5 stars.
This was really great. It was such an engrossing story and it spilled across the pages so vividly, I felt like I was there. I love Fearless, and Thorn, but Sky the most. I love that even though it’s a children’s book, there are so many real world themes throughout it, I think anyone of any age could really enjoy it. I can’t wait to read the next book!

This was a highly anticipated read for me. I’ve been a longtime fan of Erin Hunter’s other series, Warriors, and was hoping that this book would be as good as the Warriors books. Boy, was I wrong. The characters and some of the concepts in it just seemed like a remix of Warriors but with different animals, names of things and set in the African savannah. It felt like Erin Hunter was trying to feed off of the success of Warriors by remaking it and tweaking some things. For any fans of Warriors who are looking for more material to read, I suggest you read Warriors. For me, Broken Pride seemed like a lazy recolor of the Warriors series and a big letdown. 2.5/5 stars.

This is the first book in Erin Hunter's latest series, Bravelands. I was expecting such good things from this series, as it features a lion, a baboon and an elephant on the great plains of Africa. And I did receive those good things, just not in the way I was expecting.
Fearless's courage and perseverance are definitely admirable, and I love how he was aptly named. He performed many great feats throughout this novel!
Thorn's loyalty and determination make me want to be more like him, and his faith in him and Berry is so cute. I really hope he gets what he deserves!
I also really hope that Sky knows how to handle her destiny, and that she pulls through for everyone, as I feel like she has a long road ahead of her.
I assumed that the characters would all meet at the start of the novel, so the fact that they didn't was kind of a let-down for me. I suppose it all is set up nicely for the next book though! Can't wait to see their relationships blossom, and see what adventures they all get into.
There were a few plot twists for me throughout this book, and also a bit of anger deep inside at the whole cheetah thing, as well as the murder thing. That surprised me so much! Poor Fearless and Thorn :( I don't agree with how Thorn changed at the end though, that really decreased things for me. Denial is one of the things I hate in stories. I want it all to work out though! Will be picking up the second novel soon!

The Hunters really improved their writing style in this book. There is so much suspense, action, and secrets hidden among the pages. The characters were all amazingly put together along with the different beliefs and ways of the different species. The villains were remarkable. This was an overall great beginning to a series that is sure to be a truly incredible story of betrayals, lies, and revenge.
