Meh.
|
||||
This first part was a novelization of the movie. While it was good, I gave up 3/4 through it since it was, pretty much, word-for-word the movie.
|
||||
|
||||
The second part was a poor take on an obvious sequel. There's talk of making a movie sequel. If so, I hope they don't base it on this book (or at least make some sweeping changes)
|
||||
|
||||
There was not enough of the original cast and at times the story was darker than I'd expect a sequel to the movie to be (the "Switching Spell" sends people to Hell?)
|
||||
|
||||
An effort to update us on the exploits of the Sanderson legend and the original cast involved falls flat without enough background on the newly introduced characters (another Sanderson sister? And their mother was a bitch, but only appears for a few pages?) while the original cast recede to cardboard cutouts of themselves in the background with no real part to play.
