Appraise About Books North! or Be Eaten (The Wingfeather Saga #2)
What can I say except WOW! I was a bit skeptical of the Wingfeather Saga at first, but through the course of book one and now this book, I've been completely whisked away on a fateful adventure that's equal parts wit, mystery, beauty, sorrow, danger, and joy. A pure delight to read. From the dreaded Fork Factory to the fabled Ice Prairies, and everywhere in between, this tale pulses with truth, loss, and love. I couldn't put it down.

Oh, traditional gender roles.... you find a way to be everywhere, don't you? While the grandfather, the portly bookkeeper, and the two grandsons are adventuring and swinging their swords and daggers, mum and granddaughter are always in the background being protected. There is one fairly activist female character, and the family mentions numerous times that she "needs work." Again, I was fairly turned off by the overt Christianity of this book (why don't you just hit me over the head with your

DNFI can see why people would love this, but I just couldn't get into it. This is very much a case of 'it's me not you' though.

Basically, however, the creatures all followed rules that were fairly basic to regular humans and this made Narnia quite relatable to most of it's readers. When Tolkien built Middle Earth, he built an entirely different world than our own. Instead of magic

4-4.5 starsI definitely liked this better than the first book. It was a bit more complex and less frustrating than the first book. The exciting rescues that occurred also didn't seem quite as contrived although they were just as exciting! There were some very sad parts, but they were realistic and made sense in the context of the story. I liked that things didn't resolve in a need package tied up in a bow, the way it felt sometimes with the first story. I also liked that the divide between

This second tale of the Wingfeather Saga

Ok, ok, I guess this wasn't as bad as I've been making out, after all. But seriously, the main characters never stop running away! There's always some fresh danger, never a moment's rest. It's a never-ending cycle of out of the frying pan and into the fire, then back into the frying pan again. Other than this, though, I thought the story was good...
