After the events of “The Battle of Voya Nui,” the powerful Mask of Light has sunk beneath the sea where it turns up in the underwater city of Mahri Nui.  The Matoran of this city must constantly plan their defense against a barrage of predators that continue to circle the city, striking again and again.  After its discovery by an inventor named Defilak, the Mask of Light begins to reveal a deadly secret that becomes apparent to those who witness its effects on the user.  For while its power gives the wearer great strength that could be used for good, the Mask of Light or “Ignika” as it comes to be called, brings paranoia, jealousy, and madness to anyone who wears it.  The struggle for the Mask of Light continues.

This review is from: Bionicle #6: The Underwater City (Bionicle Graphic Novels) (Hardcover)

I made the mistake of not reading some of the other reviews; don't do the same! The binding falls apart in one to two days. This is a total shame. The kids love these books and I didn't pay attention to which ones were paperback and which were hardback. The one hardback that I purchased (book #9) seems to be holding up well, and I wish I had purchased all of them as hardbacks. In fact I consider the lost money as a lesson in reading reviews and item descriptions. The kids love these books so much, I have since purchased them again but in hardback of course. In summary, do not buy the paperback!
