Star Rating: 4.5 stars

Note: This is the 4th book in the Bravelands series so this will not be an in-depth review.

If you have been following my reviews for a while, then you know that last year I read 100 books. After succeeding at that goal, I entered into a massive reading slump so as a result, I haven’t been reading as much, but I finally managed to get to one of my anticipated releases for May, Shifting Shadows, the 4th book in the Bravelands series by Erin Hunter, and it was just as engaging and exciting as the 1st 3 books.

The best thing about these books is the world-building as it is very intricate. Each species in Bravelands has a unique hierarchy and mythos, but they also have an overarching system that connects them together into a community. I really appreciate all the thought that went into creating this world as most middle-grade authors would not put as much effort into their world-building.

The only slight problem that I had with this book is the fact that the new villain/menace is not explained very well, and I hope that gets better in later books.

All in all, it was a great addition to the series. 4.5 stars!!!!!!!
