OK books, easy read
|
First of all... while the concept/ideas/story in this series is good it's not something worthy of being a set of books. It should just be one larger book, other than for the advantages of making more money for those selling it and perhaps appealing to those younger readers who may be intimidated by larger books. Perhaps these would be a good intro into the world of fantasy. They weren't badly written and I liked the artwork/layout. The set looks nice too. It's just that I sat and read all five of the books in one sitting of less than 3 hours, and that was "savoring" all the meat that they had. This is really just one story stretched out into 5 episodes, so know what you're getting.
Overall: If you've gotta have every children's fantasy book out there, go for it. Good for a starter fantasy, for those able to handle some... minor violence/gruesomeness, but if your kid can handle it... I'd go for Harry Potter first, because it's got a lot more substance. Looks nice on a shelf, and not badly written, just not a standout work. |
