Spirit Animals, Fall of the Beasts Book 2, Broken Ground
V. E. Schwab
- Reading
- As this is a series continuation, consider a brief recap of earlier events together if your reader would find that helpful; then check in during the journey if the danger or losses feel intense.
- Themes
- Unclear responses to loss: The book addresses unclear responses to loss; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- The spirit-animal bond: A sacred connection between humans and animals is described as helping keep Erdas in balance and is threatened by the awakened force. The bond is central to the danger, but its wider meaning and the story's evaluation of it are not established.
- Worth knowing
- The ancient threat is described as able to destroy with a touch; how this danger is depicted is not specified.
