readingrobin 's review for:

The Wizards of Once by Cressida Cowell
2.0

This was uhhh...fine? I guess. I never got the feeling that I was getting more than your standard kids magical story. The plot was standard, basic, and never really amounted to much.

There are way too many side characters. Xar has this collection of sprites and animals, some of which have so little personality that I wonder if they're worth having any names.

I felt like this should have been half its page length, because I have no idea why this is 370 with how little there is going on.

Looks like I should just stick to Cowell's How to Train Your Dragon series.
