3.0 out of 5 starsBy a Veteran Bionicle Nerd
By David W Cunnington on August 26, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
As a MASSIVE nerd of the original Bionicle, I'm thrilled that it has continued. But like the sets, the book has increased in price since the hiatus, which is to be expected, given 5 years of inflation. It's about as long as the previous generation's books, though the text seemed a bit larger to me.

When I first heard an accredited author such as Windham would be writing the new books, I was thrilled. After reading it, I'm not so excited. First of all, the second half of the book almost exactly follows the online animations word-for-word, though not all the animations have been released yet, so a look further into the story was appreciated. Back on point. Since the book follows the animations so closely, the dialogue is, frankly, terrible. I even caught myself reading in the online narrator's voice, such as "Adededbeda heeyah that weeyad voys in my headagain" and "I AM THA MOSTAH AFF FAIYAUGH!" One plot hole I was hoping would be answered was, "Why didn't protectors of previous generations summon the Toa to awaken Ekimu centuries ago, even when it first happened?" This question is not answered. And I'm very, very disappointed.

Second problem with the writing: Greg Farshtey, the writer for 97% of the last generation's books, regularly interacted with fans young and old, getting a feel for just how much information they could grasp. Like the online animations, Windham has taken the liberty of spoonfeeding us the information out of a jar of Gerber's, SEVERELY underestimating our collective age and intelligence. I doubt anyone with this level of reading comprehension would even want to read a book lacking illustrations.

Third, for characters that have been around 14 years, the Toa have VERY bland personalities.Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 starsQuality has gone downhill /:
By DattebyoKaiju96 on September 12, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The packaging, shipping and everything else was great.
Now to the book.
The writing is honestly not up to par.
And before you make the argument that this is a children's book, Greg Farshtey did the Bionicle books during Bionicle's first run, and he did a better job than this new guy.
There was more of a complexity to the older books that was still relatable to both kids, teens, and adults, even to this day. The writing has honestly gone downhill. Hopefully they either get a better author or this author improves his writing.

3.0 out of 5 starsI was disappointed of the book
By Esteban on September 8, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I was disappointed of the book.

The first half is exactly what I expected: we see characters and settings outside what has already been published in the website. Solid building blocks to create an epic tale.

The second half failed miserably, being an exact description of the animations available in the website. I expected to have a more complete story with more events than the ones in the animations. Sadly the book doesn't even gives more insight into the events shown in the videos. It's just plain lame.

I really expect the next book rises the bar and is more complete and detailed than this one.

4.0 out of 5 starsWish we would've had this sooner!
By Corey East on August 25, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Thoroughly enjoyed this. A lot of good stuff with the Toa, as we get to spend a good amount of time with each. There was some interesting descriptions and world-building with the island of Okoto. And it was able to develop things more than the animations did. My only real gripe comes towards the end. No spoilers, but it felt a tad rushed. Other than that though, definitely recommended, and I'm really looking forward to what comes next!

3.0 out of 5 starsGood, campy, but bad ending.
By Good enough. on September 11, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This first installment of Generation 2 of Bionicle is a much needed world-builder, with great interactions and character development, which puts it on-par with the ones that came out with the old Bionicle. With that said, I felt like the book itself was trying to get to the end ASAP, as the ending could have explained the Skull Villains backstories and such. The ending was the least pleasing--Ekimia having replaced the Toas broken masks, he gave no clue on what they look like (if they are new masks.)

4.0 out of 5 starsIt starts out a little rocky, but hang in there, it's gets great
By Drakmanka on September 29, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The new author is definitely showing in the first few chapters of the book, but very quickly they get into the zone and things improve.
As a long-time reader of anything Bionicle, I had some high expectations for the story, and once again I was not disappointed. This new Bionicle universe has a lot of similarities to the old, long-running story, but there's even more that's new and fresh. I especially appreciated the break from the "all water-type characters must be female" trope. Having the Protector of Earth be female was pretty awesome, in my opinion.
The best part is all the little easter eggs hidden throughout the story that only long-time fans of the original Bionicle universe will pick up on. Thank you, LEGO, for the little nod to us old-timers. :)
