Had this not been a very short book, it would have ended up being a bit of a slog. That's not to say that this sophomore effort from Joyce is no good- it is still richly imagined with vibrant characters within a beautiful alternative magical Earthen past. The Guardians are slowly meeting and making their way to one another to provide a unified front against Pitch, the Nightmare King. This second novel highlights E. Aster Bunnymund, the owner of the second moon relic. I say it was a bit of a slog, because we really don't meet Bunnymund until halfway through a 250 page book. Pitch captures the children again, and it's up to Katherine, North, Ombric, Bunnymund, and Nightlight to set them free. We're introduced to new characters, including Katherine's goose, the egg armies, and Qwerty the caterpillar. We even get a glimpse into Ombric's childhood. This novel fleshes out the Guardians world we already know, but at the same time, indicates we still have a long way to go to finish the larger story. I will certainly continue with the next, and hopefully, it flows better than this one did.

A great second book that expands on the mythology laid out in the first.

The ending of this book I felt was much better than than the first - it was smart and different and and actually tense, rather than strange and fast and too easy. These books manage to cram so much world building into 250 pages, I can’t help but love them. Also I need more chapters from the Moonbeam because that was perfect.

Read aloud with son. Lively story, if a little overly dramatic.

Nicolás San Norte me gustó mucho. Un libro lleno de magia e imaginación, pero esta segunda parte ha mejorado incluso más. El primero no me gustó tanto por la otra escritora, le dio un estilo que no me gustó, y en Conejo de Pascua tenemos como único escritor a William Joyce.
Estoy deseando continuar con la saga y descubrir qué sorpresas nos tiene guardadas.
