This was my third time reading the book, but maybe the most special. After 2 years of my daughter and me trying to keep my husband from hearing spoilers about this series, in the hopes that he might listen to the books someday, he finally started. He listens to the audiobook (masterfully done by the author himself, and it's a treat just to hear him voice Podo, Oskar, Peet, etc.) on his way to and from work. A recent Saturday, we drove over 3 hours each way to go to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter for their Christmas events. My husband had recently finished the first book in the series and requested that we start this one in the car. We listened the whole way there and back. He's definitely hooked. It means more to me than I can express that my daughter, my husband, and myself all love these books and want to share the experience together. (We also watched the premier of the new animated series together and look forward to more!) My full, original review of the re-released hardcover can be found here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2992471023 For my full, non-spoiler review: https://christianlovingbooks.blogspot.com/2018/10/north-or-be-eaten-review.html Name: North! Or Be Eaten Author: Andrew Peterson Genre: Children Fiction, Fantasy, Sci-fi Age: 6 Review: Sequel of On The Edge of The Dark Sea of Darkness. The cover is full of illustrations, which makes it eye catching for the readers. First they found themselves on the edge of the dark sea of Darkness, but now they are forced to the North or be eaten. Three siblings, Janner Igiby, Tink and Leeli were supposed to be ordinary children with a normal past. But the truth is uncovered now, they are the Lost Jewels of Anniera, heirs to a legendary kingdom across the sea, and suddenly everyone wants to kill them. The story follows from the end of the first book, where the three children, Janner Igiby, Tink and their crippled sister Leeli have to flee to the Ice Prairies in order to survive against the lizardlike monster, Fangs of Dangs. Master storyteller, Andrew Peterson returns with his quirky writing style and homour. The story is thrilling and enchanting for the readers and it feels like this book devours the reader's attention with absolutely amazing story and wonderful illustrations throughout the pages of the book. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

I don't know if I can adequately express how much I enjoyed this book. The imagination that went into the characters, the creatures, and the plot itself is vast and enviable. I was swept up in the horrors, the betrayal, and the victories right along with the characters. I was annoyed every time I had to put it down and plunged back in with voracity every chance I got.
As in the first book, the main character really is Janner, the oldest of the Igiby children, and in this book it was even more clear why that was the best choice. He grew up so much in this book, even though only a short time passed (I don't know how much for sure...months, maybe?). Leeli really blossomed in this book as well, even though we didn't get to see her as much. She's courageous and has a beautiful spirit, and I love her! Tink, who is know more and more as Kalmar, has a rough time of it in this book, but boy was that ending incredible.
At times, I felt like the action didn't slow down enough for me to catch my own breath, but looking back at it, I don't think it was a bad thing. There were some pretty dark moments, so I wonder about the age range it's meant for, considering that my daughter falls into the middle grade range. I don't think it would scare her, necessarily, but I wonder if she would still be bothered by some of it, though she is on the low end of that range.
I highly recommend this book, and the series so far, for folks of all ages who enjoy clean, fun fantasy adventures. Also, you might see it labeled as Christian, and there are some references to a deity that many of the people believe in, but it is not overtly Christian. I have a feeling I'm going to love the rest of this series and want to re-read many times. There's no way I'm waiting for the new versions of the last 2 books to come out before I read them.
Thank you to Netgalley and WaterBrook & Multnomah for providing me a copy of this book to review. ( )
