Match BookSpirit Legacy
E.E. Holmes
2013 · 271 pages · Fantasy
How it reads
Spirit Legacy is fantasy (paranormal young-adult fantasy, specifically), and its dominant mood is eerie. It's atmospheric and uncanny, with a sense that something is wrong. The pace is moderate — neither a page-turner nor a slow burn — so it holds up whether you read it in long sittings or short ones.
It's set in a big city setting, in the present day, told in the third person, staying close to one character. Its central concerns are friendship, identity and redemption. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.
It opens a series. The ending resolves happily. At 271 pages it's a quick read. It's a hidden gem — known to relatively few readers.
