review 1: I loved this installment of The Guardians series. Toothiana's backstory was described as "bloody" and while it is, "heartbreaking" is the term that I would have chosen. I feel like in this book Joyce really begins to bring together the elements of the world he is building and the...

review 1: Ah, unfortunately I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first Guardians book. Something about it felt forced, as if it was trying too hard to be both like the first book and nothing like it. In the end, it just wasn't as magical and involving for me.Having said that, it was an ...

review 1: This book is like a decorated object, to be enjoyed in its own right. I didn't realise until the end that the illustrator is one of the authors. I really related to his artwork. It's a mix of rough and smooth, different media, a love of gravelly darks, rich contrasts, and charact...

review 1: Loved it! Read it to my boys quick at lightning speed. Better than the second book because we got lots of backstory on Toothiana, who is a fully realized character unlike Bunnymund still remains a quiet enigma. This book is much more violent than the others, though the characters...

review 1: This was not as good as the book about Nicholas St. North because the Easter Bunny-excuse me-I mean E. Aster Bunnymund, was kind of an annoying character. And with he and North fighting amongst themself so much I just found myself cross with him. Aside from that I thought that th...
