The Wingfeather Saga, by Andrew Peterson

 

1-On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness: This one starts slow, and might not get one excited right away, but the deeper you go in, the better it gets! Theres not too much to say about this one, its probably the most slow and least action-packed. The world build is amazing though, and seeing their lives before ultimate chaos was good enough. 

7/10

2-North! Or Be Eaten: This one was way more action-packed then the first! The beginnings a little slow for me but it goes and goes and it gets more crazy and keeps me on my toes. The emotions are well described, and it feels really well done!  

9/10

3-Monsters In the Hollows: Okay. This one is slow, but takes mystery heavily. Theres questions your asking, things your questioning, but also peace and slight boredom due to the lack of action. Its pretty short, but everything matters ... mostly everything, hehe. 

7/10

4-The Warden and the Wolf King: OooooOOOooohhhh MMMmmyyyy great googly moogly goodness gracious gargantuan balls of fire! Who knew a kids book could be so ... good? Heart-felt? ACH! The ending is CRUEL and KILLS me, the twist are twisting, and life is different now. 10/10

I read this series when I was about ... 11? Yeah, 12 ... 11. IDK! Safe to say it is now a nostalgiac and big part of my childhood. This was the first fiction book I have ever read besides something like Elephant and Piggy, bro. It is a great introduction for younger ones to the world of fantasy and fiction. There is minor Christianity in this (Andrew Peterson is a worship song writer) such as God being the Maker, and Janner trying to speak to Him, and He only really becomes a thing in the last, but still not a big deal. There is an anology that I didn't notice till recently, about--- whimper --- Jesus. Theres great points about forgiveness, love, and loyalty, but simple enough for young ones to wrap their brains around. 

The grammer is good enough, not flat, not too simple, not J.R.R Tolkien. And it is really good for the age it suggests. It seems at times that Peterson avoids moments where it would get violent, and he does his best to keep the violence down but sometimes I think, "You could've gone for it, buddy. It's okay." But, I get it--ages. There is no direct romance, just blushing, thinking about that girl, or maybe looking-into-her-diamond-eyes. (Bruh. Lol)

This series really inspired me to see more books, write different ones on my own, and delve deep into the fiction universe. Ending it was like ending a season of my life, a faze and a lifetime. 

The first one was slow then woah. The second was oh--oh!--OH! The third was huh?-what?-WHAT?! and the last was WHYYYY!? Hopefully, you understand lol. It is much more appealing to younger ones, but even at 13-up, I'm sure we can enjoy it too.

So, in all, I'd rate this series an easy 9(NOT 10?)/10, and 8-12. Romance: Low. Blushing. Violence: Mild. Blood. Bruises. Scraps. Monsters. Haunted House (1st). Language: Safe. 

Happy reading!! :D
