Moon tags along, but Titan and his cronies track them down and kill Moon in a display of power. Speaking of characters whose deaths I'm still in denial of, MOON! Sky's arc was a journey to seek answers from the Great Spirit. I'm pretty sure he's not going to die because he's the only baboon POV character and switching POV characters at this point would be strange.Īlso, I can't believe Frog and Starleaf died. Quietly, because I live in a dorm room and I share walls with people.Ī note on the ending: My theory is that Thorn is the new Great Father. I'm not a big cryer but I was definitely screaming "NO!" at several points. The ending of this book is one of the most dismal things (in fiction) I've ever read because of that. Unbeknownst to him, Stinger knows exactly what he is planning, and uses it to his advantage. He too is biding his time, but he is forced to commit atrocities to divert suspicion away from him. He is chosen for an elite group of guards (disturbingly similar to the Gestapo and similar groups) called Strongbranches and caught in Stinger's 4D chess game. Thorn's arc is the main focus of this book. His arc hasn't changed much from the first book, except that Stinger has managed to take advantage of him and Fearless begins to distrust Loyal after his mother's dying words. In this desperation, charismatic and brutal tyrants like Titan and Stinger thrive, but the seeds are sown for their downfall.įearless continues to bide his time to avenge his father's death and take back his pride, but as Titan's atrocities grow he realizes that the time is coming sooner than he thought. This entire book is about the turmoil that grips Bravelands as the future becomes more and more uncertain. The weather is more bipolar than springtime in Pennsylvania, and treachery and deceit are spreading. This is going to be a very spoilery review but before I get into that I'll just say to anyone who's apprehensive about continuing the series that it's worth it, but have a box of tissues and a pint of ice cream on hand because this book is depressing.
