I really enjoyed Onward a lot more than I thought I would. It had plenty of good humor throughout, but it didn't feel like they were scraping for it. The story was sweet, but had good animated action in it. The characters were good (not annoying). Best of all, there was no odd, long, boring part in the middle that some animated films have, when they suddenly feel like they need to fit a big lesson in. It's an enjoyable family movie all the way through!

"For me, the most devastating childhood remembrance film—if that’s what it is. The story is too remarkable and strange to be fiction. Six-year-old Brigitte Fossey—trying to make sense of her just-witnessed parents’ deaths by urgently assembling a beautiful little animal graveyard—might just nudge out Dean Stockwell as my all-time favorite child star, and she makes me cry a lot more! Comedy mixed in with such sadness, sadness, sadness!!! This is early childhood distilled and put in a very dangerous bottle!"

So I didn't realise this was set in Australia, it made a nice change from American stories, though the names for some items had me guessing for a short while

I enjoyed the storyline but it also kinda annoyed me in a way. I got a lot of where Tess was coming from with Toby but I don't think I agreed with the Sean bit. It was a change once more from the usual conflict in these sort of stories...But nope. Sorry.

Hmm...

I've enjoyed this series a lot and as I'm currently on holiday in Vegas I thought it would be great to read this while I was here, imagining the Councils residences above the hotels of the Strip, but most of this book isn't even set in Vegas and I kinda lost interest about half way through for a while.

Eventually I picked it back up and finished it. The war on magic is almost here now and everything is intensifying.

Off to start book 10
