I have not read any of the other books related to Spirit Animals and these characters Conor, Abeke, Meilin, and Rollan. I picked up this book for my nephews. Yet, I ended up enjoying reading this book. I will make sure that I get my nephews the rest of the books as I want to read them as well. Reading this book kind of made me think of Airbender. However this book was cool because of all of the different spirit animals that the group had. I like how the spirit animal was connected to each person not just appearing but in life and death. Zerif is an bad, bad man. I hope that the group can put a stop to him and his evil plans. ( )
