Jim Henson's Labyrinth Tales by Cory Godbey
5.0
I am a huge Labyrinth fan so when I saw this cute looking book being published, I immediately pre-ordered it.
Plot:
The story is divided into three parts where different characters have adventures and meet up with other characters. I think my favorite was Ludo's though they were all cute.
Setting:
I adore the Labyrinth and the setting looks just like the movie in illustrated form.
Characters:
I pretty much love all of the characters from Labyrinth and they were pretty true to form in this book. The highlight was seeing the worm featured in two of the stories because he's my favorite. The junk woman is also in one of them which was awesome because I've always had a soft spot for her.
Relationships:
There really isn't enough story for any new relationships to really make an impact but I did like how major characters (Ludo, Sir Didymus, Hoggle) interacted with some of the classic but lesser focus characters.
Writing/Voice:
The writing fit the characters and story.
Illustrations:
The illustrations are stunning. My dad, who has never seen Labyrinth, actually saw the book and said it reminded him of The Dark Crystal, which he has seen. He seemed pretty interested just by looking at the art.
Ending:
The ending is kinda sad but adorable at the same time. It fit the characters and story well.
Overall, loved it. Labyrinth fans will adore it and I could see kids being enchanted as well. Would be a great way to introduce little ones to the world of the Labyrinth!
