It's a good premise, and the story its interesting, but I think it might be better appreciated by people familiar with Te Reo and Maori traditions and folklore. I sense that something was lost for me since I'm not that familiar with most of the Maori references.

this book is just brilliant. it's fun, smart and full of Joy.

3.9 more specifically

More like 3 1/2 stars

I would say 3 and a half stars

I only gave 3 instead of 4 because the sword fighting was ridiculous

This book is lovely, I generally don't like retelling of tales, but this was really well done.

3 and maybe half

More like 3 1/2

More like 3.5

It's more 2 1/2. I didn't like that much.

More like 3.8 out of five

What a remarkable well-written book.

I would vive it 3.7. It's nearly a 4.

This is more like 3.7. This is not an easy read. Some passages are beautifully written. Other seems to make no sense. Bu it still fits the narrative. It's more about senses than anything

I will miss this series. Some things are obvious and a bit frustrating, but was still a lot of fun.

I would actually give a 3 and a half, almost four.

It's a cute and entertaining book. It's almost a 4 star book. The only reason I won't give 4 it's because those kids seem to behave a lot older then they are supposed to be.

3 and 1/2 for the book.

5 stars for casting Ben Barnes as The Darkling.

I had given 3 and half, but change it to 4, I just can't stop thinking about this book, and now I'm on book 2, and it's great.
