Power of Four, Book 1: Island of Exiles
“And it is my dearest hope that your destiny lies here with us—and that with you, we become the Four.”
Deerface is determined to protect his colony from their sworn enemies, the exiles. Though he is the smallest of his littermates and often overlooked, he is fierce and tenacious in his desire to achieve greatness and atone for the damage left behind by his exiled father. With the help of an unexpected ally, he finds a way forward, but will it be enough to overcome his father’s treachery and save his colony?
In the tradition of classics such as Watership Down and Redwall, The Power of Four trilogy has rich and spirited characters in a vibrant and fantastical world. Love and humor are ever present, even amidst the trials of triumph and heartbreak. Readers young and old will relate to the ever-complex dynamics of family and community, and will cheer on the adventuresome rabbits as their saga unfolds in this first of three books.

This is Seven's debut novel and I was given an advance copy in exchange for a review.
This is a fast paced book and has several unexpected plot twist that were fun. Seven obviously knows a great deal about rabbits and she chose (which I applaud) to show the rabbit's emotions through rabbit mannerisms, twitching whiskers, ear positioning, anxious movements.
May main beef with the story is sometimes the logic behind the bunnie's choices feel odd....This may be a case of me not relating to one character or another though.
I would recommend the series to anyone who enjoyed the warriors series, guardians of ga'hoole.
Well done, Seven! You've accomplished at 18 something many much older writers have yet to! You should be proud

I have mixed feelings about this book. The story has great potential but the characters are stiff and somewhat shallow. “My dad is the bad guy and I should kill him - Oh well” is how Deerface responded to a lot of situations but was angry about little things that really didn’t make much difference in the end. It got better towards the end but by then I really didn’t care and couldn’t wait for the book to be over.
The book is short and is only part one of the story.
I received a free eBook copy of this title from Paper Ravens and have willingly provided an honest review.

Kept wanting more.
I loved the simplicity of the story setting. The complexity of the struggle among a family and all the hidden angles kept me looking forward to reading more. What was next and could I see it coming. Can't wait for the follow up books.

Very interesting story
When I first saw the book I didn’t know what to expect. This is an interesting story about a nest or colony of rabbits and the challenges they face. One particular rabbit is focused on throughout showing how he grows up to be a leader.

A good read for children between the ages 9 to 12 year old. It is a bit boring for adults, since it is talking animals.
