Louise (64 KP) rated Warren the 13th and The All-Seeing Eye in Books

Jul 2, 2018

*I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the Publisher in exchange for an honest review*

This is a book that I have had on my TBR for quite sometime *sorry Netgalley* and I even made it one of the books to read for #beatthebacklist which I have now achieved *fist pumps the air*

This Middle-grade book is excellent for this time of year the illustrations and story are quite dark- there is an eerie tone set to this book and definitely a Halloween book – it’s not scary but it has witches and other spooky beings.

This book is action packed with loads of fun stuff to read about – Warren has to go on quests and solve mysteries to help him save his beloved hotel that Aunt Annaconda is trying to take over. Supposedly there is an All-seeing eye in this hotel but nobody knows what it is and where exactly to find it – but this all-seeing eye contains a treasure – a treasure so powerful that he can’t let his awful aunt get her hands on it.

This book has a lot going on in it and a varied amount of characters that it doesn’t leave the reader bored for a moment and there is a mystery that you are trying to unravel whilst reading. There are some meaner characters such as Aunt Annaconda and her sisters but then we have other ones that are there for the young heir and help him.

I loved the fact that this book had illustrations and that it complemented the story very well, they were very dark, gothic style and used a darker palette – I just wish at some point I can read the physical copy.

Overall this is a great middle-grade novel,it’s fast paced and intriguing with an eclectic range of characters and will be appreciated by children and adults of any age.

I rated this 4 out of 5 stars

Lots of goals to achieve

Doesn't matter that you haven't seen the movie

Other tag along characters can get in the way

I have only ever played this game 2 player, it's a great fast moving game with lots to try and achieve. Sometimes things can be a bit confusing as to what you need to do, however with a bit of perseverance you can usually work it out.
I like that it's a good old fashioned game in that you need to collect things and pick up things along the way in order to achieve the end goal.
There can be moments of annoyance when the characters that are following you get in your way and cause you to fall of things, losing treasure that you have collected.
All around great game that keeps you entertained for hours, it doesn't even matter that you haven't seen the movie
