Customer Reviews

I don't care what others say...

I've heard and read quite a few reviews saying that these books were not good. It's a lie! Sure I'm only 11, but I personally think that these books are a wonderful challenge. The way they are written is good, and Elora is a great heroin. I'm almost done with the second book, and by now I fully think that it's a wonderful story line. Now true, I've never seen the movie, Willow, and perhaps it makes people expectant for a certain quality, but honestly, I find the story to be very good. Perhaps it's a good thing I didn't see the movie first. Anyway, I think the books are good, no matter if others don't.

George Lucas continues to create incredible worlds

I have to admit I was a bit disappointed in the first book, Shadow Moon, it started off with so much darkness. I remembered Willow's world as being full of humor and banter and now he's lost his family, his two best friends, and even his identity. And Elora was not turning into a heroine one could cheer for. I couldn't seem to shake this sadness for most of the book. This and the writing seemed a bit over done. But I still looked forward to the next installment and when it showed up I was very pleased. Elora's transformation is a welcome storyline and very believable. I love the personality they have created for her she's worth reading about. I love her affinity for dancing and her decision to cut her hair. I still miss the original characters I fell in love with and Willow is still sorrow incarnate (when he's around) but they have got me intrigued in a new group of characters and I am anxiously awaiting the next book. I know George Lucas won't let me down.

Damn good book

It was all I had hoped for after reading the first one, Shadow Moon. Once I got into it, I couldn't stop reading. I loved it for so many reasons - it wasn't predictable, it developped more on Elora's life, the author made you feel as though you knew the characters, and more. I can't wait for the third book, hopefully it will be out soon.

It gets better and better

I liked the movie Willow and loved Shadow Moon. I waited with bated breath for this one. I was not let down. The story line keeps getting better and better. I really am looking forward to the 3rd book. I hope Elora meets with Luc-John again.

I loved the book!

I had just finishing reading Shadow Moon about a month before and was thrilled to find out that the sequel was due out anytime! No having to wait a year or two between stories, though I don't see how I missed it so long! Both books I could not stop reading. I know the characters are different from the movie "Willow", but they are more captivating. I eagerly followed Elora through all her ups and downs, and was sorry the book came to end (though maybe now I will get some work done without the book in my hands!). I hope that there is a 3rd book, I do so want to read more about the characters I have come to love and I guess I will have to wait the traditional year or two this time. Oh, well...should be worth the wait
