Typically I am not a high fantasy reader so I was very hesitant about reading this Canadian middle - grade novel. However, I was pleasantly surprised by my enjoyment of it! I think because it is middle-grade, the world building and storyline was written at a level that was easy for me to grasp and understand. I found that between my first and second reading sessions I had created a foundational understanding that carried me through reading the rest of the novel. 

This is definitely a fantasy series I would recommend to readers! I think fans of the Warriors might enjoy the animal-themes. It also features dynamic and relatable sibling and friend relationships. It is medium-paced but full of adventure that keeps the storyline moving. 

I will not hesitate to continue the series or pick up books by this author if I need to in the future.
