Welcome to Litsy!

3/5 ⭐️s
Peterson's strength is in his characters - they are endearing and relatable. the silliness that I disliked so much in this book came out in the narrator's voice and the naming conventions. at least for me, epic fantasy vibes just cannot be combined with silliness and absurdity. I have heard that the series gets progressively better, so maybe I'll pick up the other books at some point in the future.

Randomly found the animated show this book is based off of and liked the first episode a lot. Then found out it‘s a book series and jumped on it. It‘s geared for younger children but anyone who like fantasy style books will love this. It‘s a really good. The animated show is on an app called Angel Studios.

Read for a little bit down by the creek again today! I didn't stay for too long, because it was very sticky and humid! 🌿📚💕

Starting this book with a great view! The shade is so refreshing! 📚💕🌿

Happy Friday, friends! 🎉 I have a three day weekend starting today, and I am really looking forward to getting so much reading done! 📚💕 This is the first book in The Wingfeather Saga, a middle grade fantasy series I keep hearing wonderful things about. I took a chance on it and bought the box set of all four books, so I hope it's good! 😃

It's gorgeous at the park today! 🌿

I have been reading this book with my nephew and I am enjoying the time. This was the first book and it‘s a solid start. Perfect for my nephew.

I‘ve enjoyed Andrew Peterson‘s music, with its well-crafted & moving lyrics (& Tolkien references!). So I was interested to read his MG fantasy series. And I liked this! It‘s a fun adventure story with some gorgeous scenes & a lovely focus on a close-knit family. It has a few too many silly names & gross-out bits for me—that might appeal more to its target audience! The ending was a bit obvious, but I liked it enough that I‘ll continue the series.

Made my first trip out to B&N today since the pandemic started. I have had a gift card burning in my wallet and so I snagged these little beauties! I‘m excited to read them. The cover art is gorgeous.

Also I absolutely HATE B&Ns new layout. At my store the scifi-fantasy section is shoved in the back corner. The manga has been downsized along with MG books in kids and the overall look is horrible. But hey YA was ridiculously increased 😑

I highly enjoyed this book because of the characters. Each character was so different, yet they all came together to tell such a cool story. This is the second time reading the book, and I found that I learned so much more that I had the first time. This novel has such an exciting plot that really takes the reader on a journey. I rate this book an 8/10 and I can't wait to reread the rest of the series.

Hey all,

I missed the Feb #Coverlove due to work, so I may be two weeks late, I am still posting it. Plus it's perfect for #MiddleGradeMarch since it's time for the #MGedition.

Our first book is tagged.

I have seen a few covers of this book, but this is the US cover. It screams Read me.

Out Today

I attempted to read this aloud to my 8 year old son last year, but I believe he was too young for it. And I was getting tripped up on the funny words. I switched to audiobook this year and it was awesome. The story is gripping and funny and the emotions, particularly between the siblings, are very real and relatable. I could see what was coming in terms of The Big Secret, but that didn‘t ruin it. I‘m eager to read the others. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had several friends rave about the book and the series so we got the series for our son as part of his Christmas. Honestly, when we first started I was underwhelmed and unimpressed, but there is a point where you realize there's a story under the story and before you realize it you've been sucked in. The characters develop nicely and the plot is the one all ages can enjoy. Our whole family is excited for the next in the series.

This book started strong but finished weak. I do appreciate that the author finally explained all the missing parts of the story, but there weren't any surprises. I did very much enjoy the random footnotes, those are quite funny.

I can't remember the last time I smiled so much while reading a book! On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness is silly and fun, and is full of adventure and fabulous messages --- I highly recommend it to readers of ALL ages :)
