Kids Books - Adventure Books

The Lost Prince started off really great. It caught my attention, I felt some sympathy for Dean, our main character, and I wanted to see what would happen next, truly I did. But the performance of the story as a whole . . . it slacked off. It didn't meet my expectations. First off, this book is in no manner realistic. I LOVE fantasy, I won't deny that. But this book didn't have much essence. It was rather cheesy, actually. Next, Dean has a love interest in this book. That's fine. If the love is written off well. But it wasn't. I didn't feel like Dean really loved Waverly . . . more like he saw her as a beautiful young lady with sparkly eyes. In my opinion, the book was better off without the romance. And NONE of ANY of the battle scenes in this book were picturesque. The author, Matt, seemed to be just telling what happened in the battle. Dean never tires from the fight, never gets actually injured while fighting a man TWICE his size. SO UNREALISTIC. The battle was bland. That's all there is to it. No cliffhangers at the end of chapters doesn't really encourage me to read more. This is a good book for 9 year olds who don't mind the lack of realism, but anyone older would most likely not find the book satisfying.

i read this book because it was the next book that my friend said i should read so i read it i was reading the book and then i had a great idea that i could make a book report

It;s really good so far if anybody likes fairy tales that end with bloody scenes this is the good fit book for you .you should read it but beware kids under the age of 10 might not like it it might get them nightmares.

Looks Interesting!

When I read the title Nemesis, I'm expecting the book to have hatred, anger, or maybe vengeance theme to it. Some wrong that turned people against each other or created an archenemy. Something that actually requires the word nemesis. Yet, the book's only reason for the title nemesis is that a group of people split from Serubel kingdom some hundreds of years ago to create the kingdom Theoria and Serubel kingdom lost the war to bring the Theorian people back. So, basically the Serubelians are sore losers. Of course now the main character (Sepora) must be enemies with the rival kingdom. That could be a good reason for the rivalry but the main character seems to have no real emotion of hate (or really any emotion at all) against the other kingdom Theoria. Story plot: Sepora's father wants to use her ability to make a energy containing metal to make weapons against other kingdoms and take them over. Because she feels this is wrong Sepora flees Serubel. After fleeing she is captured by stereotypical thieves (two bothers - one is the brains of the operation and one is the muscle and stupid) and sold to the king. By the way, Serpora traveling the desert, getting captured, and sold (and the plague going through the kingdom) takes up 44% of the book. After being sold to the king, Sepora is appointed to be the chief adviser's servant where she sells out her kingdoms secrets without a second thought (reason why the title Nemesis doesn't make sense). The king and Sepora (of course because it was advertised on the cover) fall in love. The book's plot is pretty obvious from the blurb of Nemesis. You know how the book will go even before you start reading it. My recommendation is to read the blurb if it sounds like a book you'd like - read it. Just because it is such a transparent blurb. Fans of Anna Banks previous books will enjoy Nemesis. It's writing style and flavor is exactly like her other books. I know the author has no part in designing the book cover but the cover does not go with the book at all. It looks like it should be with an alien story - just saying. I guess it's to show that Sepora makes a silver metallic metal... *Thank you to NetGalley and Feiwel & Friends for the opportunity to read this book.
