What is your opinion?

Very different!

"I was impressed by the new concept of this novel! It's like nothing I've read before, and it's like a breath of fresh air. The characters are varied and interesting, and even when we think we're at the end, there's more info and characters to keep our curiosity going. The descriptions are lovely, and you get to experience everything with the Guardians. Highly recommended read! -Author of Hollow's Charge"

Excellent

" The very first sentence is enough to catch attention. The idea is so very unique—the perspective is one I’ve personally never seen in a long novel like this, and it’s intriguing. Your words create vivid imagery and even those who haven’t been to any National Park can clearly picture the scene—hear the herd, feel the chill, sense the tension. Along with introducing a setting, you’ve already gotten me hooked on the backstory of the herd. Just the smallest details have me thinking: how will “pack (herd) mentality” affect the decisions of Jin and Dahj and all the others? How will their setting, and perhaps intrusions from humans, change the course of the story? I’m very excited to finish reading. Great job!"

A brilliant start

"This is the first book in the series, it only sets the scene for more to come. Beautiful, Earth-like nature here is alive and sentient. In a world of anthropomorphic animals, some are chosen for a mission that involves magic, facing the enemies and their own demons. While we follow the party on a dangerous journey, we explore the questions of sustainability, fairness, and balance. This fantasy story offers a unique take on evolution, natural forces and even afterlife. Filled with so much love for flora and fauna, it urges us to notice the current state of our planet, inviting us to become the real-life Guardians. Being a massive build-up to something that might become epic, this book is not an independent piece but rather an introduction, filled with unanswered questions and teasing with hints. Highly recommended to serial fantasy lovers who appreciate strong logic and convincing worldbuilding."
