This review can be taken in regards to all 5 books in the series. If it would have been possible, I would have given this series 0 stars. I know that may seem harsh, but I honestly believe this series could improve in virtually every single aspect of writing. First off, the characters were the in...
I openly admit I've not read the rest of this series. Saw this at the library and it sparked my fancy. But after having read this book I won't read the rest. I don't feel that I need to. I never felt lost in the story since there was a massive amount of back story. I feel that if I had read the r...
I absolutely LOVE this series and was sooo excited to read this next volume. If you've read the last book, the picture book "The Sandman" then you've already met Sanderson Mansnoozy and know his background story. This book starts with current events but it does retell his background so you don'...
The breathless wait after the cliffhanger ending of the last book is finally over! I love the direction this series is taking, pulling in more intertwined story lines without damaging the growth or sheer joy at the heart of it all. The story progresses to the increase of the guardian's power and ...
I actually liked it. Now I'm sorry I didn't start this series from the beginning as I should have. That's what I get from being lazy! But I'm not going back now. I'll continue to read from this book on and after reading the rest of the series I'll go back and do it right. Moving on...Fast-paced, ...
The newest character to become a Guardian is Toothiana. She collects the baby teeth of children and leaves them a treasure in return. While she protects the Flying Elephant from harm she is no match for the darkness of Pitch. Together with the other Guardians, they must find Pitch, rescue Katheri...
The Guardians book two E. aster Bunymund I am currently reading The Guardians book 2. This book is by William Joyce. I would think that this book is a fairy tale, using characters from major holidays. E.g. St. Nicholas North from Christmas, aka Santa Claus. The main characters of this book are...
E. Aster Bunnymund is the last Pooka. Pooka's were the ones who are responsible for creating the earth. North and Katherine must get to the earth's core to save their friends from Pitch. However, the only person that can get them there is E. Aster Bunnymund, and he has no desire to help them. ...
I have the same complaint as last time: not a fan of the way it's written. The author narrates the events, which on the one hand results in e book being very easy to read, but on the other hand makes most of those scenes pretty hollow. I never really felt immersed in this world. But I still reall...
Genial! Tiene magia, batallas épicas, amistad, personajes conocidos, pero a la vez desconocidos, todo lo necesario para un gran libro con un toque de inocencia, pues es dedicado a los más pequeños. Lo disfrutará cualquiera con un corazón joven y en busca de un libro de aventuras divertido y profu...
This was our first chapter book to read-a-loud to our oldest kiddo. It makes this Mommy's heart proud to know that she wanted fantasy as her first entrance into this new world of imagination reading. As for the book, it brings such depth to the story that was introduced to us in the movie inspire...
Nicholas St. North tells the story of who Santa was before he became a guardian. Before Santa was Santa, he was a bandit that pilfered Russia for its riches and treasures. In a dream he saw a great treasure that took him to Santoff Claussen. A place where he thought he would get rich beyond be...
I really enjoyed the story of Toothiana. Her backstory is a little darker than the others, although they are all orphans in their own right. Her resilience and goodness is inspiring. She has every reason to be bitter, or to use her powers for evil. Despite all the harshness of her past, she c...
I can't believe how well-crafted these books are. The characterization is amazing (1: I love Nightlight; 2: Pitch's backstory is the saddest thing I have ever read, I almost started crying), for one thing. The structure, foreshadowing, suspense, attention to detail... he full on specifies at one ...
My two year old son fell in love with the rise of the guardians movie; thus, we had to start the books, and he's been entranced. He came into my room one morning, picked up this book and said "I'm going to take this back to my room and read it." When I explained to him that it was all words and...
