Creatures of the Flood

3.5 stars ------

I was excited that Erin Hunter released a completely new series, with a setting that appeared similar to Bravelands (which I was really captivated by a few years prior). As someone who has grown up with Hunters' imaginative and diverse zoological worlds I thought I would be invested in this one. 

However, I was quite wrong actually. Perhaps it is because I have adjusted my taste as a reader. I enjoyed, as always, the rich, detailed and marvellous writing style. And research into the habitats that pandas, leopards and other creatures was so clearly displayed. But the plot line so-far appears to be repetitive to the series of Bravelands and the story seemed to move quite slowly - with the protagonists' traits and circumstances being so similar to some in Hunters' past series.

I would say that an audience of the recommended age (8-12) would still enjoy this series . But it would be really nice to see the authors of Erin Hunter could create completely new plotlines and character-traits in their next novels!
