Status Updates From The Quest Begins (Seekers, #1)

Just capped it off with the final parent death. Man these books are dark. Fun though, looking forward to reading more

So in a running tally, we've got child death, parent death, and parent abandonment of a child. Kallik is making her way north and Toklo is figuring things out, but Lusa is still at the zoo so I'm wondering why/how she leaves. Also when the magic bear shows up, which should be soon if I'm remembering correctly

me like but i hate one of their parents EVIL

Wow, okay, I remembered that these things were dark but parent death And child death in the first 100 pages is Dark. I actually am enjoying the voices of the characters too. They're young but they're supposed to be and I think the distress and feeling come across really well. Also the worldbuilding is genuinely unique

Should I be rereading a series that I loved while I was in literal middle school? Probably not. Am I doing it anyway out of curiosity and a deep seated desire to not think about my impending boards for ten damn minutes? Yes
(Will I also reread the Warrior cats series? Probably. Should I? Absolutely not.)
