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.

Would you have the courage to defy fate?

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a great children's fantasy
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2024
I love the dedication in the book: To anyone who doesn’t have life all figured out. Neither do I. Let’s enjoy the journey anyway.”

This is such a great story for kids ages 10 and up, (even adults). Amese is 13 and I like that her personality showed her young but also mature when she needed to. I love that there is different magic in this story, we get to meet some other characters who are with earth, water, and air. Amese’s village is all about connecting with animals. I liked the lessons Amese has received with each animal, and I love that they have helped her start to find herself. It’s also pretty cool that she gets a marking of the animal (like a tattoo) after the lesson. Overall I feel if you love fantasy or want to introduce your kids into fantasy this is a great book to read. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top shelf reading for younger readers
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2024
Hard to imagine a 13-year-old girl being thrust into a legacy of guardianship over ancient elemental powers. But, wow, did MJ Murray sure imagine it! The tale is for young readers, and is stacked with challenges: mastering her shapeshifting abilities, traveling with the aid of enchanted bees, and earning the respect of fellow rulers. It's a killer plot!
