A sixty-page novella set in the world of the bestselling Survivors series by Erin Hunter! While this novel really failed at entertaining me, but did succeed at giving me a headache. With excessive inward fighting taking center stage as well as Lucky's poor leadership in the face of danger , I'm guessing the EH team is running out of ideas, at least where the Survivors universe is concerned.
This next cycle is going to be painful, very painful. I'm going, "ouch! View all 4 comments. Feb 05, N. Light rated it liked it. I've heard about Erin Hunter books for years yet didn't pick one up until I saw this one on Bookbub. It looked interesting and the cover was eye-catching. I found it to be rather, umm, unappealing. Sure, there's was an action-packed ending and there's lessons here to learn but the characters didn't grab me.
Guess this series is not for me. My Rating: 3 stars I've heard about Erin Hunter books for years yet didn't pick one up until I saw this one on Bookbub. My Rating: 3 stars May 04, Liza rated it did not like it Shelves: books-i-tried-so-hard-to-enjoy , animal-fiction.
I will say this up front. This book was bad. It was really bad. It was so bad that even though Storm is a great character by herself I had to rate this book a 1 star. This is my first Erin Hunter book at one star. Let that sink in for a moment.
Now, let me chat a little bit before getting into the nitty gritty. Survivors , I felt, was the weakest Erin story. Yes, much weaker than PoT 3 arc of Warriors and weaker than the beginning arc of Seekers. Unlike Seekers, which, in my opinion, did get better a I will say this up front. Unlike Seekers, which, in my opinion, did get better as the story progressed So much worse.
So this book picked up a bit after the first series. We get a new POV in the form of Storm! Storm as a character I like. She reminds me a bit of Squirrelflight before she got stupid. The problem was, the story she was in. The pack is now compromised of 3 different groups all smashed together. These dogs do not get along. These dogs make a gathering from Warriors seem like a tea party.
I am not kidding. Unlike Warriors , where this was alright since they did live in separate clans and whatnot, it was downright infuriating in this book. And guess what?
Based on the inner jacket Just great. One of the biggest issues that stemmed from this is the problem of "Fierce Dogs. This pissed me off so much. I had to curse. There was no other way I could describe my anger in regards to this. There was so much, "OMG. He grew up with Blade. He is a little less trustworthy. I'm pissed off They know her. This reminds me of Tigerstar and his kits. His kits, Brambleclaw in particular needed to prove to the clan that he was not like his father.
Guess what? He did. And the clan trusts him and whatnot. Oh you saved us from the foxes? You saved us from Blade? You saved us from thing X? We don't trust you cause Fierce Dogs are Satan reborn. Like if they were genetically altered dogs or something then sure, okay. What makes them different from other dogs? Wouldn't Bruno be considered dangerous? He is listed as a "Fight Dog" in the allegiances. That sounds scary and evil like "Fierce Dog" too!
That was my biggest gripe since that seemed to be the core of MOST of the conflict. I could understand if Twitch's pack were leery since they did not have Storm around and all they knew was Blade's pack.
But still. Dogs that Storm knew growing up did not like her. Another issue was with Storm's dreams. Like WTF? What is she, a medicine cat now? This also brings me to my next point. Oh Lucky. You were an interesting fellow in the first series but in this book I wanted to slap you silly. He was a stupid Beta.
He was not worth being Beta. Sure, you are worried about your mate and blah blah blah but Storm is right. You are the father-dog for the whole pack. He also seemed to lose bits of his personality too, especially in his treatment of Storm. Lucky is pretty much her stand in dad but he did not seem to care about her much at all.
Also the whole random thing at the end about chasing a Golden Deer? What in the world was that? It felt pointless and random. Oh and you want to know what else was random? Out of nowhere much? This is going to be a painful ride. A long Please let there be no super editions coming out for this View 1 comment. Jul 01, Anna Sobczak rated it it was amazing. Perfect as always!!!!

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. The Storm of Dogs has now passed, and the pack is struggling to adjust know that Twitch's dogs have joined, and Storm seems to be struggling most of all.
Not only does she have a glorified stalker, she's started sleep walking and dangerous power plays are being made among the pack. And even after she saved them, many still don't trust her and Arrow.
I'm glad to see her growing up some - if only a little. Lucky; Lucky's going to be a father dog! And it's natural that he is now struggling to find a balance between protecting his mate and unborn pups and protecting the pack when danger comes calling.
Moon: I love Moon, and I felt extremely bad for her in this book. You just know one of twitch's followers has framed her, and like Storm, you'll want that dog's pelt II use as a bed. Only a horrible creature would do that to someone when they had a choice.
Lucky tries to use it as a lesson, because he did the same - only he had no choice but to do it, and this dog did, which somehow makes it worse. I know and you know that they'd listen to you, so open your mouth. Whisper: I am sad about the ending, but he was not a very good character. Dec 28, Christine rated it really liked it. The Pack is much calmer, but tensions are rising, since the pack is divided.
The majority of the book was: Storm's dreams, Dogs hunting, and quarrels in the camp. I hope that the next few books are not so repetitive and have more action. However, this book does raise a lot of plot for future books. There is still a rift in the Pack, plus Sweet's pups still need to be born, the whole Golden Deer thing, the thing with the airplanes, Bella X Arrow, and of course, Storm's dreams.
I have a high suspicion that, as Storm dreams, she is murdering creatures, like the fox and Whisper. For use in schools and libraries only. Three novellas from the action-packed world of the bestselling Survivors series by Erin Hunter-together in print for the first time!
