Review: Interesting read, but a little hokey

There was a lot that I liked about this story - it starts right in the action and it provides enough detail without overwhelming.  I loved that the characters were slightly older than in books of this story - they were about ten years out of college instead of being in their teens or early twenties.  I liked that they had histories than went back more than just a few years.  The whole "spirit animal" thing, however, was less successful and felt a bit too simplistic.  Maybe later books do a better job of explaining it in a less hokey way, but it just didn't work for me here.
