In 3Below, two royal siblings named Princess Aja and Crown Prince Krel Tarron, who live on the alien planet Akiridion-5, must escape to Earth when their home is taken over by an evil general named Val Morando. What can I say... as much as I loved the beginning and the ending, I couldn't really enjoy the middle part much. I don't know how but I found all the description a bit too gore for me. I like the characters but not the monsters (that's probably intentional on the writers' part) because of their really weird physique and habits. Also, they eat human children. Not cool! My singular complaint, is that this novel does read like it was meant to be an ornamented movie script. Scenes that could be more powerful in fewer words are dragged out longer than they need to be, especially action scenes; I felt that the strength of the fight scenes floundered under their own verbosity. Also, some of the smaller scenes added in near the end felt as if pulled straight from film. I've had these same feelings before while reading works from other directors, and while I enjoyed those books as well, it seems to be a common thought that nags at me.

Beautiful. Trollhunters, alas, appears to be a standalone. But I think I head something about comic tie-ins to the Netflix series? I'm game. a b Trumbore, Dave (December 14, 2017).

And some character traits were just too good to be true. Clair was, in Jim's own words, what 'society would view as not skinny enough' and yet she has a gaggle of friends, is at least semi-popular (definitely not a loser) and even the bully, the sportsball star, has eyes for her.

There is a lot of cursing (at least as far as a book with illustrations in it goes, beautiful ones that that) and a great deal of violent imagery. Gorgeous, amazing, perfectly written gore. The final level for entry is the vocabulary, I'm reading this at twenty-seven and a couple of times the word choices made me tip my head to the side, baffled how a middle schooler might know the language. I find this to be a good thing, get a kid enthralled in a book and they'll learn that new term and they'll be better for it.
