Book Review: Deltora Quest Volume 5

Review:  #291
Title:  Deltora Quest Volume 5
Series:  Deltora Quest - 5th volume
Author:  Story by Emily Rodda; Illustrator:  Makoto Niwano
Read Before:  no
My Comments:  Still got those weird, hard to like character designs.  Anyway, the story conveyed through the chapters was likeable, and better done than previous chapters were.  However, throughout this adaptation, the puzzle-like nature of the encounters was severely dumbed down.  It is really disappointing when it goes backwards in terms of complexity and fun.  You won’t get any surprises here.  I do have to say though, the atmosphere at the city of Noradz was perfect (but once again, they skipped a couple of interesting events that happened there).  Not really worth reading unless you haven’t read the original books.

Rating:  5.5/10
