Like other Erin Hunter books, Broken Pride is fantasy fiction but also includes a lot of detail about animal habits and the natural world, this time on the African savanna. Sights, sounds, and colorful landscapes all add to the appeal and invite kids to explore further. Heads up: The book assumes that the reader has a pretty good vocabulary and uses words like 'intimidating,' 'malevolent,' 'escarpment,' 'foliage,' and 'silhouetted,' along with names of indigenous animals and plants, such as 'dik-dik' (a small antelope). Young protagonists Fearless the lion cub, his friend Thorn the baboon, and Sky the young elephant strive to do the right thing even when they're terrified - which is often, as they deal with betrayal, treachery, and murder as well as the usual hazards of life in the wild. Fearless is determined to avenge his father's murder and get his pride back but also wise enough to know that he's still a kid.

Erin Hunter’s bestselling Bravelands series continues with the sixth and final book of the first Bravelands arc! At long last, the Great Herd is united against Titan—now so powerful that even Fearless, who vowed to avenge his father’s death, cannot defeat the rogue lion alone.

Meanwhile, he shows resourcefulness and courage in helping his family and friends, even when he's misunderstood and badly treated. Thorn sacrifices his own chances to help a friend, once in a contest and once when he breaks up with the girl he loves because he fears putting her in danger.

Sky the elephant loves her herdmates, takes care of her little cousin, and obeys her revered grandmother. Some adults of various species are wise and heroic; others are spiteful or treacherous.

Younger and/or sensitive kids may find the violence, grief, and betrayal too much to take here: Several young characters of different species have seen their parents killed; over the course of the story, several other adults, included beloved ones, are murdered. Then there's just plain nature 'red in tooth and claw,' as predators hunt and kill prey; in one scene Fearless stalks, kills, and eats a terrified zebra and savors every bloody moment.

Vultures, bones, and dead bodies (of animals) are important in the story. Perhaps most scary are the speeches by characters who want to kill others and justify it all in the name of the greater good, as here, where the baboons are discussing what to do with lion cub Fearless, whom one of them rescued:'He'll grow huge,' complained another young male. ' Much too risky. I know he's little, but kill him quickly and it won't be unkind.' 'And think of the future enormous lion while you kill him,' pointed out a sulky-looking senior.

The descriptions are vivid, the characters appealing (or appalling, in the case of villains), the story exciting, and the stage set for many adventures and relationships in volumes to come. Also the vocabulary is rich, as are the details about the plants and animals who call the Bravelands home.

There are plenty of positive lessons about family, friends, teamwork, negotiation, and coexistence. The story may be too upsetting for younger or more sensitive readers: Besides vivid accounts of predators killing and eating prey, it includes several murders, including the treacherous killing of a lion cub's father, as well as mutilation, fights, and other mayhem. In the region of the African plains known as the Bravelands, young lion cub Fearless' life is shattered when a treacherous rival kills his father, the pride leader, and Fearless must flee the BROKEN PRIDE for his life. He winds up taken in by a flock of baboons and tries desperately to fit in, but despite his best efforts and his baboon friend Thorn, he's never quite accepted, and he never stops worrying about his mother and sister. Thorn has problems of his own - he's in love with Berry, and she's in love with him, but they can't be together because they're of different social classes. Meanwhile, orphan elephant Sky discovers she can see how an animal died when she examines its bones - a skill her grandmother, the ruling Great Mother of the Bravelands animals, puts to good use.As the multivolume series gets under way, the young animals face many challenges and tests of character as they contend with betrayal, cruelty, and murder from others in their communities.
