Book TWO! Cool. Like I said, the first one was a good, subtle introduction to the BIONICLE series. This one gets a bit more plot driven with an actual enemy threatening the home and well being of the Toa Mata and their island of Mata Nui.
Don't you just love it when the characters you were mildly familiar with and not so interested in become immediately interesting because you're put into their mind during a time of pain and anguish? Well, that happens in this book, and I won't say anything except that what happens to young Lewa Mata is what made me even more attached to this series.
Not interesting enough? Let's just state what this series is about in a jiff: Robots (bionic beings) that live in their own world and have their own beliefs, trials, and emotions, without the mention of humans at all, struggle to fight a spiritual darkness that dangerously threatens their lives and occasionally possesses a few of them here and there, making their lives Hell while they fight to learn the meaning of sacrifice.
Wow! That sounds AWESOME!
