This one was way more mature and dark than previous installments of the saga.
Also... is there a romance between Fearless and Keen? I stan!

Bravelands will forever hold a place in my heart. It's the only Erin Hunter series that I have continued to read. This book is such an amazing mixture of middle grade, animals, and some YA thrown in there. I have never read a middle grade series with such depth and well formed characters. I hate how these all end with cliff hangars because I will have to wait another year or two for the next book. However, it's worth it. I look forward to joining these characters again on their next journey.

Sky, Doorn en Fier zijn steeds meer volwassen. Het is fijn om te lezen dat ze soms ook nadenken over hun keuzes in plaats van meteen te doen wat ze willen doen.

Sky heeft aan de ene kant het gevoel dat haar taak is voltooid en weer terug kan naar haar kudde, maar aan de andere kant wil ze graag nog haar vrienden helpen. Deze tweestrijd blijft het hele boek aanwezig.

Fier is met een groepje leeuwen op pad, met nog steeds hetzelfde doel als altijd: wraak nemen op Titaan. Fier draait hier een beetje in door en hierdoor dreigt hij zijn vriend kwijt te raken. Ook helpt Fier Doorn waar het kan.

Doorn heeft een grote taak gekregen, maar bij die taak horen ook offers. In dit deel heeft Doorn het het zwaarst van het drietal.

In Zielvreters is er vooral heel erg veel verdriet en drama. De dieren op de savanne hebben allemaal dezelfde vijand, de Zielvreters. Eerst blijven ze elkaar de schuld geven, maar al snel blijkt dat het echt steeds de Zielvreters zijn. En hun naam zegt ook precies wat ze doen. Niet alleen de andere dieren op de savanne hebben verdriet, ook de drie hoofdpersonages.

Het vijfde deel is een soort voorbereiding op wat er in het zesde slotdeel gaat komen. Er zijn gebeurtenissen die hartverscheurend zijn, maar alles is een voorbereiding op de grote finale. Sky, Doorn en Fier worden er voor klaargestoomd. Dit deel was wat dunner en had wat minder grote gebeurtenissen, maar was wel een belangrijk deel in deze zesdelige serie.

Ik ben met veel plezier opnieuw de wereld ingedoken van Bravelands. Het was fijn om weer bij mijn vrienden op de savanne te zijn. Het zesde deel zal voornamelijk over Fier gaan, als ik de titel zo beoordeel: Oathkeeper. Ik hoop stiekem op een heel dik boek en een heel fijn einde voor alle personages.

If you love Bravelands, I highly recommend you skip this installment if you don't want the series ruined for you. The characters were shallow, pathetic echoes of their former selves, none of their actions made any sense whatsoever, barely anything that happened contributed to the overarching plot, the majority of things that occurred were boring, and the rest was either passable or borderline unacceptable. It's like the Erins just published the first draft of the novel, disregarding all edits or proofreading. Yes, it's really that bad. It resembles a poorly-written fanfiction so far removed from the original work you can barely consider it tied to the source in the end. Sky is a discount rip-off of herself, Fearless continues to treat those around him worse and worse, becoming more annoying by the sentence, and Thorn. What the hell happened to you? The only good that came from this book was Fearless and Keen's obvious, in-your-face gayness. But even then you know the Erins will keep them as "just friends."


**SPOILERS:

These are the only things you need to know if you do decide to skip this book: Berry dies by the wolves, the wolves consume the souls of animals through their hearts and gain their powers, Sky and Rock get back together, Keen leaves Fearless, and Titan leads the wolves. Seriously, that's all. The rest 304 pages of the book are utter garbage that are simply a waste of time and paper. And don't worry about missing any detail or actual suspense or whatever- telling you straight the things that matter to the plot are as good as reading the story, if not, better. That's how bland, unsubstantial, and nonsensical this novel is. Oh, yeah. Fearless gets a new pride, too. Effortlessly. So ridiculous.
It's really hard to like a book when the three main characters are a prick, a suicidal maniac that has the whole story in his paws and doesn't even care, and an indecisive, uninteresting faulty female lead. Just saying.**


If you do decide to read the book after my warning, good luck, because you're about to have a horrible time. I really don't know why the Erins stopped caring about this series so close to the end- it makes me worry about the last book. Hopefully this one was just meaningless filler made for sales and to sustain that six-book quota.
Also, why do the Erins despise Thorn with a burning passion? I really don't get why- it's like they're dead set on forcing him to bear every heartbreaking development known to Earth. Seriously, guys, be a little nicer, your hate boners are showing!!
I gave it two stars only because I still have hope, for some reason. I've loved this series for so long and I desperately don't want that to stop now. So, if the last book is bomb, I am very willing to disregard this one all together. Just please, get your crap together Erins. It's ok to be dark- encouraged, even. Your demographic is growing older, for sure. But at least MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!

Heel veel liefde voor deze serie. Recensie volgt nog.

[Icer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another good installment in this series. I encourage fans of other 'Erin Hunter' series and animal fantasy to try this series. (You have to read the first four books, first.)
This particular book seemed to slightly lack the feeling of being a standalone volume though. It's sort of like 'stuff happens' as if it were lifted out of the middle of a longer book, that involves books 4, 5, 6. Except we don't have number 6 yet. At the end, you want to keep reading, but it's not a "cliffhanger". You just wish the book had kept going.
The book is sad though. Since the 'sad part' happens near the end of the book, and then it ends, without any further resolution until book 6 comes out, it's a bit of a letdown.
I didn't think they'd really kill that character, only make it seem like they were dead or something, (I did like that character) so the book ending like that left me a bit depressed. I think they should have left it a cliffhanger if that character was going to die, and then even if they turn out to be dead in book 6 we get a more immediate payoff by the other characters reacting to it for the big ending, which is almost certainly going to involve another 'final battle' with the bad character/s.

There's only one other problem I have that I hope gets fixed in the next book. A problem with some 'animal fantasy' books is when they make all the characters of a particular animal species 'bad'. This is rather tasteless because it could be either an allusion to racism or making us think of the entire species as a pest in the real world. In the first three books this wasn't a problem because we also have 'good' or 'neutral' characters of the same species as the 'bad' characters. In this series, I think the only golden wolves we've seen are the 'bad' ones in this specific pack from book 4 onward. This could be fixed just by having some wolves shown even briefly that aren't part of the 'bad pack'. For people who are interested, golden wolves really are a thing, originally descending from both Ethiopian wolves and Grey wolves but now their own species.

I am pleased with this series in light of how disappointed I was in the 2nd arc of Seekers. I think the Erins are getting their spark back. I hope this series gets a second arc and does not lose its fire.

In this book, we are reaching the conclusion of finding out what has been plaguing Bravelands. The book ends on a serious cliffhanger, and I can't wait for the last book to come out.

Interestingly, I would recommend this series to any older fans of the Lion Guard. I would say Bravelands is too descriptive in its deaths and killing for any super young kids, but any middle grade-aged kid or older would love this series if they loved the Lion Guard. I find myself always comparing the two, not because of the plot (Lion Guard is way more lighthearted), but because of the setting.

[Carsyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow, I finished this one quickly! I really enjoyed this new addition to the Bravelands series. It was probably my favorite book in the series so far, with enough action to keep me entertained without overwhelming the plot. A couple slightly disappointing moments toward the ending makes this review fall just short of five stars, but overall I thought it was a really good read.

Good, but alot of blood shed!

[Manon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved this so much!

[Kaylee · Rating 3 out of 5]

Mid three stars. This was unfortunately pretty disappointing.

As with all old Erin books, this was an enjoyable read writing-wise. There were a couple typos, but nothing egregious, and the chapter pacing was pretty good. There was a weird mistake where one of Sky’s chapters had Thorn’s picture (or maybe it was vice versa; I can’t quite remember), but aside from that everything seemed well-organized and well-written.

This one was more setup, unfortunately. The fire at the end helped give some sense of purpose to the story, but that was obviously a sidequest to waste time until we could bring Titan back next book. The wolves were creepy, sure, but they weren’t even a big plotpoint for most of the story.
And of course, this one had some serious plot holes. Sky can still read the bones of other animals, even though that is NOT an elephant power and she doesn’t have the Great Spirit inside her anymore. Nimble and Lively, the cheetah cups she adopted, are only mentioned when they are needed to help further the story, even thought they supposedly still hang out with her. Also, how they got food before they could hunt was never explained. Last book, Fearless was headed for Mightypride to stop Titanpride from attacking them. In this one, he heads off to do something else, then completely forgets to check on his sister’s pride and just wanders into the woods looking for wolves. Also, he and his friends escape the wolves several times, which make them feel like far less of a threat than they’re supposed to be. I’m sure there are more, but those are the ones I caught.

Character time!
Thorn probably had the most development in this book, and while I really like the ideas the authors tried to implement, I’m not sure they did a great job with everything. His struggles to be Great Father were pretty well written, but at the end his menial tasks were definitely a bit forgotten. Hopefully they’re brought back up in the last book, at least briefly. Thorn’s big moment in this one was actually him losing hope and essentially trying to die. While this is a very interesting route to take a lead, and I really like the attempt to show a fuller range of emotions from this character (this was definitely his lowest point), I’m not sure if it was done in a great way. Berry hating him being the thing that pushed him over the edge, when he didn’t seem that depressed beforehand even in his own POV, felt a bit unbelievable. It does make sense that he wouldn’t think of the wolves stealing the Great Spirit forever when he tries to have them kill him, but I don’t like that Windrider then makes him feel bad for ‘being selfish’ after he’s healed a bit. Yes, it was selfish if he remembered about that caveat of the wolves stealing tens outdoes of those they kill, but he didn’t, so it clearly wasn’t intentional. More importantly, claiming someone suicidal is just being selfish, while possibly true depending on the circumstances, is a terrible message to give and really doesn’t help anyone in that circumstance. I wish Windrider’s claim had been refuted, or at least added onto, to make it clear that wasn’t the message the authors were trying to give. So yeah. Thorn as a character had some potential in this book, and I think there was a good effort to make him more well-rounded, but for me it fell a bit flat due to unintentional messaging and a bit of a lack of believability.
Berry was pretty much the main side character in Thorn’s story, and she was even worse in this book than in the previous ones where she was just a blank slate love interest. Her annoyance at Thorn unintentionally undermining her was 100% valid, but it was blown way out of proportion in a clearly forced way to add more conflict. Her death at the end was too sudden; these two never talked and really made up, so the whole thing felt even more flimsy. Again, a good idea, but this one had bad execution.
Fearless was fine in this one. His plot had some plot holes, and his character is starting to feel very repetitive. But there was an attempt to give some commentary on his obsession with Titan, and I appreciated that. Like with Thorn, I think the authors really tried to make his character deeper in this one though they weren’t entirely successful. Framing his oath to kill Titan as an unhealthy obsession is interesting, but in actuality it really only serves to make Fearless seem reckless and arrogant, even though he seemed to be learning to avoid that in the last few books. Unfortunately, I worry this will make the ending of book 6 less impactful than I remember. Hopefully I’m wrong though.
Keen leaving Fearless over his obsession was a good choice to try and force some character development, though I don’t know if it worked. Unfortunately, Keen is also kind of a blank slate, so though we know these two are close, his leaving didn’t feel as big as it should have. And Ruthless was basically just deadweight following Fearless around in this one, which is disappointing.
Sky has nothing left to do in this story, and it is abundantly clear. Her acting as Thorn’s advisor for a bit made sense, and then her trying to return to her elephant herd was also logical. But neither of those things have any real stakes or contribution to the overall plot. The authors kept having to force her together with the other characters when it was very clear they had no reason to interact really. Her annoying, forced miscommunication trope with Rock was predictable, cheap, and annoying. And their inevitable reunion was underwhelming and equally predictable. None of her plots were surprising, and she’s not a unique enough character to merit carrying a nothing plot.
Rock, Boulder, and the entire elephant herd were blank slates as usual. The River drama was eye-rolling and predictable, but at least it was resolved in this book. I don’t feel anything for the elephants; they’re all the same basically. Moving on.

Brief tangents about the antagonists incoming.
Titan needed way more presence in this book. Having a vague ‘evil guy is out there doing evil things’ every five chapters is not nearly enough to make this character a notable antagonist. He acted more as a bogeyman than a villain in this book, which was very disappointing. I can’t wait for next book when he actually does something.
As I mentioned a few times before, the wolves aren’t quite as threatening as I think they’re supposed to be. Out leads outwit or escape them too many times for me to be really afraid of them. They’re definitely creepy, though, and I like that these books don’t shy away from describing gory scenes they leave behind.
Menace is just laughably evil for the sake of it, which makes her a fun break from our more complex leads, but also makes her unbelievably annoying to read about. She’s too young to do any damage yet, but of course she will later because plot. I’m pretty sure I like her more next book, but in this one she was insufferable. Mission accomplished for the Erins, I guess?

Overall, not the return to form I was hoping to see. I really hope book 6 is as good as I remember; I really want to be able to say this series is worth a read.

Book Theme Song: Get Up and Fight by Muse

This series continues to be great and it keeps getting darker. I'm amazed this is considered a children's series. This book in particular deals with soul death, hatred, revenge, suicide, natural disasters, and politics, all while keeping enough of a glimmer of hope that I keep reading. Often series this dark will lead to me DNF'ing because I hate grimdark, but the darkness continues to be balanced with lighter moments and victories.

The golden wolves are some of the most terrifying villains I've seen in any story. The concept of destroying someone's spirit is not taken lightly in the story. You feel the weight of it every time a named character is revealed to have fallen victim. They're terrifyingly strong. I feel a sense of dread whenever they show up because I genuinely believe somebody could die, even a main character.

Thorn coming to terms with being the Great Father is one of the most compelling arcs. It feels very relatable despite the fantastical premise. Suddenly being thrust into a world of responsibility where your mistakes have bigger consequences than ever. That's almost scarier than spirit-eating wolves.

Fearless's arc was more subdued but still interesting. I like the dynamic his makeshift pride has, especially with Menace managing to be both a brat and strangely likeable. Especially since Fearless and Keen manage to keep her in line. And Fearless's relationship with Keen is great. Whether they're close friends or something more, I love how they support each other but are willing to assert themselves too.

Sky's romance arc is the weakest one for me personally. It's not that it's poorly written but with everything else going on her issue with Rock felt a little cliche. Again, it's not bad, and I like how it plays out near the end, so it's probably a me problem.

Overall though I really like how this story is playing out and I can't wait to read the next book.

[Cheetah Universe · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series is so good! I can't wait for the next book to come out. What will happen next? Its outstanding the way they make all the characters have an important role to play. A story of forgiveness, loyalty and ambition.

Things that surprised me and left me broken hearted:
1. Berry's death----> she was so loyal and brave
2. Keen leaving Fearless to go to Mightypride after not being able to stand Fearless ambition of killing Titan.
3. How River truly died.
4. That the wolves by eating the heart of the animals, they were also eating their spirit, and with it, all their power.
5. The Crown Guards coup.

[Olivia Cardillo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very action-packed. There was never a moment in the book that something interesting wasn't happening.

[Ellen · Rating 2 out of 5]

DARK! Really a dark, haunting, and mildly disturbing book. I've never seen the word "corpse" used more frequently in children's literature than I did in this book. There was abundant death and destruction. It sets up for quite the big finale in the next book, certainly. The golden wolves are terrifying and the stuff of nightmares. I get chills thinking of their creepy "let me be we" pleas. YIKES. There was some creepy imagery in this book for sure because of the wolves and their actions.

Sky Strider is plagued with doubt over Thorn's ability to lead. That doesn't really go anywhere, but it shows that she has some trust issues to overcome. Her decision-making skills lacked in previous books, but I found her courage in this book to be refreshing and it seems that she is on a much better path (once she finally got over moping over Rock...that whole part in the beginning was irritating!). And let's just get this out of the way...Forest deserved better! Also, this book could have gained a full other star if it had more cheetah cub content. Nimble and Lively are some of my favorites and they were relegated to being background characters in this book, despite the fact that they were on the front cover!

Thorn has a hard time adjusting to his new role. I felt that his struggles were portrayed well, and his handling of the hippo/crocodile fiasco was well done. The coup in Dawntrees Troop that overthrew Berry was a wild turn of events, which made sense given the belligerence of the Crown Guard. Tendril's death felt unnecessary, though her child's reappearance towards the end might foretell a new plot point. Berry's blaming of Thorn was warranted. Their reconciliation, while brief, seemed a bit strained. Just because Thorn almost sacrificed himself didn't seem enough grounds to bring them back together. And, of course, Berry's death was tragic and violent. She was incredibly brave and clever at the end though, which fit her character well. Now it seems that both Fearless and Thorn have a vendetta against Titan. Last thing, I think that Nut has experienced some incredible character growth. Good for him!

Fearless's story...has turned out to be fairly one-dimensional. I appreciated Keen's insight in pointing this out, because it's true. Fearless is obsessed with revenge. It's his only personality trait thus far. (Except when he briefly paused to team up with the hyenas to fight the golden wolves, which was awesome.) And he doesn't see any reason to change that. It's kind of been his whole "thing" throughout all five books so far. Keen gets points for being self-aware and calling this out. (He kinda calls out the authors too!) I got a few hints of Fearless & Keen being a pairing, which seems odd because in books based on animal behavior, I'm not sure how entirely realistic this is, but why not, they'd be good together, especially if Keen is willing to call Fearless out for have a one-track-mind. Ruthless as always is a loyal little dude. He deserved more of the spotlight in this book, rather than just being bullied by his baby sister, who really was a backstabbing jerk! No wonder her name is Menace.

I would rate this book a solid 2.5 stars. In part because it was grim, but moreover because it was predictable. This book lacked subtlety. I was able to guess the big reveals a couple of pages before they happened, so it wasn't like there were any plot twists or big surprises. It all felt rather obvious. However, I think it does set up for a big conclusion in the next book and it was overall very dramatic. Quite unusual themes for children's literature!

In Bravelands de zielvreters gaat het verhaal van Fier,Sky en Doorn verder.Ze staan voor steeds meer lastige keuzes, en staan steeds
weer voor nieuwe uitdagingen.Nu Doorn de nieuwe Oppervader van bravelands is staat er veel druk op Doorn zo moet hij opeens veel
dieren advies geven en de leiding nemen. Fier is nog steeds uit op wraak voor Titaan en Sky twijfelt over wat ze wel en niet wilt. Zo is dit boek erg emotioneel en voor de dieren die je in het verhaal volgt zijn de gebeurtenissen erg zwaar en soms verdrietig.

“Maar nu hij de grote geest bij zich droeg,werd de poëzie van de hemel aan hem onthuld en ze klonk even inspirerend als beangstigend.”

Bravelands, de zielvreters – Erin Hunter.

De groote vijand in dit deel van het verhaal zijn de goudwolven oftewel de zielvreters. Samen met heel bravelands proberen ze de
goudwolven tegen te houden. Je merkt goed dat dit boek toewerkt naar het slotdeel van de serie. Want alles komt bij elkaar en het einde heeft een spannende cliffhanger waardoor je erg nieuwsgierig bent naar het volgende boek.

Dit (e-) boek mocht ik ontvangen als recensie exemplaar van de uitgeverij in ruil voor een eerlijke recensie,bedankt hiervoor!❤️

In the Bravelands series so far, I rated the first two books, Bravelands, Book 1: Broken Pride, and Bravelands, Book 2: Code of Honor 4 stars. Then I gave both the third book, Bravelands, Book 3: Blood and Bone, and Bravelands, Book 4: Shifting Shadows 5-star ratings. With Bravelands, Book 5: The Spirit-Eaters, I've returned to a 4-star rating. The reason for that is that I didn't think The Spirit-Eaters was as compelling as its two immediate predecessors. It was still a good book in its own right, though. And I am really looking forward to reading the sixth and final book, Bravelands, Book 6: Oathkeeper.

[Nithilan Venkatesan · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an awesome action-packed book. A pack of African golden wolves just came to bravelands. And they never actually ate the flesh of the animal that they hunted, only the hearts! They believed that if you kill an animal you take the animals strength, speed, and cleverness. Read this gripping story to understand what they ended up hunting and what happened after that. highly recommend this series for fiction lovers.

[Rain · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although not as good as the first three books in the series, Bravelands: The Spirit Eaters does what some Warriors series fail to do and that is to expand on the story after the first three books. While in Warriors: A Vision of Shadows the last three books seem more fillery, at least The Spirit Eaters and Shifting Shadows justify more of their existence.

J'ai bien aimé ce livre mais sans plus, je mets 3 étoiles pour l'intrigue intéressante, les personnages attachants et la lecture fluide et prenante.

I actually only read the first few chapters to my son, and then skimmed the rest. I think 6 books is just too long for a series. We want to know what happens, but it's getting redundant with the introduction of new villains, and some that never die. ;) This was just ok.
