War Bunny (War Bunny Chronicles) by Christopher St. John – Review by Kerry Carr

War Bunny: Book 1 of the War Bunny Chronicles by Christopher St. John
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the War Bunny Chronicles. This was a really interesting read, set in a time where humans are extinct and animals have free rein over the world. As a lover of Watership Down I jumped at the chance to read another story about a family of rabbits and their struggle for survival.
My heart cried for Anastasia. Just because she was different and didn’t want to follow the beliefs of the warren she was told she was sick in the head and thrown out of her protective family warren to find her way on her own. The family she had were scared of who is was because she didn’t want to tow the line she wanted to live not just become food for prey.
When she now finds herself kicked out and alone she realises she needs friends to survive.
This is a story about different species coming together and finding a safe space where they can live in harmony.
This is a moving story with links to our world today. It includes issues such as religion, family dynamics and hierarchys and learning to be strong enough to go against things trying to keep us oppressed.
The unique twist of this story being about animals but with them dealing with issues we find ourselves deal with made this story really unique and enjoyable. I look forward to reading more.
