Renegades
Book Review
I would recommend it to anyone who likes the 'Warriors' books by Erin Hunter
The story is pretty exciting, especially at the beginning. I read it in two days. Each chapter is a new perspective – the author swaps between Willow and Luna. At one point the sisters split up, meaning you are changing place as well as perspective. Willow is more cautious than Luna. Luna appears to have set the diner on fire.
Jay Saxton is in charge of giving out magical animals. He said he once gave a bald eagle to a five year old – “You’re fired”! The owl is called Mousebane or ‘mortal enemy of the mouse’ – good one!
The rat is called Skitter and has a power of levitation. Luna absolutely hates it when she tries to eat him and gets levitated. I mean, how would you feel if your chicken dinner started to make you fly out of the window??
I would recommend it to anyone who likes the ‘Warriors’ books by the same author. Also, to anyone who likes animals: it’s mainly about cats but there are also dogs and coyotes, frogs, weasels, and a crow called Coalclaw. I reeeeeeeeally want to read the next Renegades book in this series!!
About the Book
Willow and Luna have been on their own since they were kittens.
After their mother’s death, they settled into a scrappy life in the heart of the city.
But when a mysterious fire rips through their makeshift shelter, they’re left searching for a new home.
Luna is immediately drawn in by the strange, secretive animals they meet in the park – animals who unlock her ability to perform magic.
Willow is less sure about these so-called ‘attuned’ animals and has no interest in joining their world – or their fight against the human witches who seek to ‘bind’ the animals to them.
As Luna and Willow come to realise their own unique magic, they find themselves at odds, separated by destiny, with the fate of the whole city in their paws.
