Review:Hope Larson did an amazing job making a classic book into a lovely graphic novel. The illustrations are spot on! She took all the best parts of the book and made them come alive. Really an excellent read and a beautiful expression of L'Engle's wonderful story. Don't even hesitate: BUY THIS NOW! Read more
Review:This whole series is good but there are errors to a point it makes me wonder if the editors even read these books. The names get mixed up. The author says Gwen when he clearly meant Luanda and flower when it should be flour. However, the content is good and the story keeps me wanting more. Read more
Review:Nope; not gonna read another of these books. The author writes short books (I guess for the money) with cliff-hangers. A good author can write a series of stand-alone books that make you want more.
Also, the author has many gaps in his storyline. For instance, what happened to Thor's brothers who also got into the Legion? They simply disappear. Supposedly all of the Legion went on The 100 but no mention of them. And does Krohn (his pet) never grow? He can still fit inside his shirt. When the... Read more
Review:Because there are many repeated phrases and a few words used in correctly...I am guessing English is a second language for the author. That being said, the books did keep you interested enough to want to finish the series. Read more
Review:Whilst I like this genre I sometimes have difficulty liking the characters. Unfortunately the main character still annoys me but I am finding qualities I like. It took time to " get into the novel" but found by the end that I was invested enough to go straight onto the next instalment. Author is imaginative and writes well. Good range of ages for characters. A good read. Read more
Review:Thoroughly enjoy Terry Pratchett's books. I really liked this series. Excellent characterizations and the "wee free men" though having only a small part in this story compared to the other three books are a riot. (literally, lol.) Read more
Review:Though I love the characters and loved every single other book before this, I did not enjoy this o e as much. It felt like a fanfiction. Like someone who wanted to be part of the story so bad that they made their own character and threw them in as Will's apprentice. I was gritting my teeth the whole time and had to resist the urge to throw it out the window. But I was still able to read through it. Read more
Review:I was looking around for books to read on amazon, when I came across this free book " Call of the Herald" I read some of the reviews and from what I read they all seemed to love it. I think someone said it was like Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings... and sine I love those kind of stories,I decided to download the first book and read it. Well after the first few chapters of the book I was already hooked. and so before I even finished reading the first book I downloaded the second book... I w... Read more
Review:This third book in the series Dragon Ore (The Dawning of Power) is even better than the first book! There is a lot of adventure, a lot of action, dragons, danger, powers, fighting against the evil and trying to save all mankind. The journey is a long one... from Greatland to Firstland... escaping from enemies and making friends... the Herald's powers grow. She spent time learning to use her powers... now sh... Read more
Review:Gave some background as to why the characters could perform the way they did in The Force Awakens. Still leaves you wondering about Rey's parents and how she survived to adulthood. Liked the way Finn was developed. Read more
