The Review
The Title/Cover Draw:
- I super love this series so much. So of course I need to read them all! Plus doesn’t cover just scream “wide open spaces?”
What I liked:
- There was a new world and new experiences. Plus centaurs!
What I didn’t like:
- I felt like this book was over in a heartbeat. While I do like that each book in this series is short, it is sad because the ending comes too quickly.
What kept me reading:
- Regan is a new character to the series, so I wanted to find out as much about her as possible in case she shows up with the rest of the children at the school.
The Characters:
- Regan is sympathetic, loving and fair. If given the chance, she would make a wise ruler.
The Ending:
- Again, the ending was too quick. I wanted to know a little more about her!
Consider if you like:
- If you like young adult novels, quick reads, or fantasy worlds.
Small Summary:
“Welcome to the Hooflands. We’re happy to have you, even if you being here means something’s coming.”
Regan loves, and is loved, though her school-friend situation has become complicated, of late.
When she suddenly finds herself thrust through a doorway that asks her to “Be Sure” before swallowing her whole, Regan must learn to live in a world filled with centaurs, kelpies, and other magical equines―a world that expects its human visitors to step up and be heroes.
But after embracing her time with the herd, Regan discovers that not all forms of heroism are equal, and not all quests are as they seem…
