Shapeshifting. Elemental powers. Cryptic messages. Will Amese have the courage to defy fate?

For millions of years, there have been six unique guardians of ancient elemental magic, each possessing the power to balance life in the universe. They are supposed to work together; instead, the rift between them is growing.

Now it’s 13-year-old Amese’s turn to rule. To succeed with her training, Amese must transform into animals, travel using enchanted bees, and convince the other rulers that she’s worthy. She can’t shake the feeling that someone wants her to fail and will do anything to make that happen. To survive, she must place trust in the person she finds least fitting: herself.

From the Publisher

Would you have the courage to defy fate?
If you formally reject the calling, you'll be stripped of your powers. And your immortality.
Making a difference is a choice we all have, no matter how small we might feel.
It's hard to be ordinary when you're destined for the extraordinary.

My 9yo loved this
My 9yo daughter is a huge fan of fantasy, especially with strong female leads. She loved this book. She said the best part was how the main protagonist learned a different lesson from each animal. It sounds like a cool magic system. The cover art is just beautiful too. We also signed up for the author’s newsletter and got to read an awesome “deleted scene.” Highly recommend. We can’t wait for the next in the series!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good story for the young at heart too!
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2024
This is the first book from The Borosa Legacy. Amese is just 13 years old and is to become the next potentate. But she's not confident in herself or her abilities. She hasn't even figured out what her magic is. But something is happening and she needs to start her training. Grab this book and come along on her adventures. This is targeted for 10-14 year olds but I think it can be enjoyed by the young at heart as well. Very well written story and I can't wait for the next book.

The Borosa Legacy Book 1 is a great read I read with my daughter together and she loved it. Amese is a teen who is about to start her training to become the next potentate but doesn’t seem so sure she wants be the next potentate.
Amese takes lessons to change into animal form and live like they do until her lesson is learned and she can return to her body. She has become a pelican, a wolf and a badger
One of the conversations with her mother I loved a lot. Her mother told her that if she was going to quit, it needed to be after a good day of training not a bad one. That is was easy to quit when something is hard.
Seems like not everyone wants to see her succeed and something is going on. The book was getting good and left us on a cliffhanger. I cant wait for the next book!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Magical
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2024
Amese of Animals by MJ Murray is the first book in The Borosa Legacy Series. This book is written with readers 10-14 in mind, but can be read by anyone who enjoys a good story with lots of magic and adventure. We are following 13-year-old Amese. She is training to rule, and trying to convince others she is worthy of the task. It seems like not everyone wants her to succeed in this quest. The story is fun and magical. She has to turn into animals for her training which is really cool. The story ends on a cliff hanger and I am looking forward to the next book 4 out of 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars A magical adventure
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2024
The Borosa Legacy book 1 was a great read. My children and I read the book together enjoying the adventure and self discovery that Amese went through. Young and old readers can thoroughly enjoy this book. It got many different life lesson conversations going during our reading. A book that fosters interest and conversation is always a plus as a parent.

At only 13 Amese is being trained to be the next to rule. She encounters lessons in turning into animals and more throughout her journey. Will she succeed or fail?

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2024
I enjoyed this story. The story of how Amese finds not only her purpose but also herself was very interesting and held my interest. The journey for Amese had a few twists and turns but everything thing turned out okay in the end. There was a bit of a twist at the end, so I am thinking that Amese’s story is not over and I look forward to reading the next book.

Amese of Animalis is Book 1 of The Borosa Legacy series and this was a fun story filled with magic, elements, adventure, decisions and destiny. The author does a great job in the storytelling and really brings this book to life. This book is aimed for ages 10-14 and can also be enjoyed for the young at heart. I am looking forward to seeing what is next....

Amese is a mere 13 year old girl who is destined to do great things. While she may at times not feel that way and has self doubt....she knows she also has to learn new skills to become a guardian. As Amese begins her journey, she transforms into different animals with lessons to be learned along the way.....to learn and become worthy at her best...

I do not want to give any spoilers away...but this is very good story and I highly recommend giving this author and book some love.

I read this with my 7yo and we both enjoyed it. What's not to love? Magic, adventure, mishaps, and strength of character. There were a lot of life lessons in this story, but they weren't overwhelming or boring. This was a great coming of age story where courage is tested. Amese is a fantastic character. We can't wait for more in the series.

Amese of Animalis is the first book in The Borosa Legacy.
A wonderfully written fun fantasy book for your middle aged (10-14) experienced reader. Its full of magic, adventure, and action, mystery and so very much more.
Amese, who bears the birthmark of Borosa is about to begin an epic adventure, as she is to become a guardian. So many wonderful characters and creatures, all are well devolped. My grandson is 11 and he really loved this book. We can't wait for book #2.
