Bravely by Maggie StiefvaterMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
It has been a few years since Merida had her last big adventure and she assumed her life would stay as it is. She loves her family, but she is bored and longs for another adventure. When she runs into Feradach, a being whose job is to get rid of doomed things, she makes an agreement to save DunBroch. Will she get her family to change their ways … within a year? Will DunBroch be saved? What will Merida learn through her newest adventure?
Bravely is a stand-alone fantasy adventure that readers can enjoy even if they never saw or read the original tale. Stiefvater has taken a character that many are familiar with and given her new depths and additional escapades to read about. This book should be geared towards teens, yet it feels as if the author let it also be readable by younger people looking to learn more about Merida. As long as older readers know that the audience is wide, this lower level of complexity can be overlooked. I enjoyed the adventure and couldn’t wait to find out how it would end.
