Book Review: Deltora Quest Volume 8


Review:  #375
Title:  Deltora Quest Volume 8
Series:  Deltora Quest - 8th volume
Author:  Story by Emily Rodda; Illustrated by Makoto Niwano
Read Before:  no
My Comments:  As per usual, the illustrator had to take some liberties and change the plot a bit to suit the manga style.  However, it’s surprising how much they changed, the whole Shifting Sands arc with the guardian, while keeping the spirit of the books, felt very different.  This volume also starts to get into the Dread Mountain arc, and it’s actually fairly faithful.  Some of the more exaggerated faces doesn’t seem to fit well with the story (the humor is forced).
Rating:  5.5/10
