The adventure continues and I love it.
I enjoyed the extended world building in this sequel. I also enjoyed the illustrations more, which seemed less stiff.
A story of three parts.The Princess and Mr. Whiffle find adventure once again! Anything can happen as the princess fights between her freedom to go on adventures with Mr. Whiffle uninhibited or rescuing her new prince brother from the mess he's fallen into. In the deep dark.Her deepest fear tests her once again, but for her annoying younger brother, the princess just might face anything.This shit's not for kids. Seriously.
This is so cute. I love it. It really tells a fantastic story full of magic and adventure and a little touch of creepiness. I love the morals behind it, that you never really know how much you love your sibling until they are gone, then you realize you would do anything to get them back, like conquering your fears or creating a light in the dark to scare away the monsters. I love the parallelism that Rothfuss creates within this story, between the point of view of the princess and her little bro...
I have to admit, I'm really proud of how this one turned out. The Illustrator, Nate Taylor, really outdid himself.... But you can't trust my opinion. It's my book after all.So here's a couple people who have no particular reason to lie about it.Like Bill Willingham:"Patrick Rothfuss and Nate Taylor seem determined [...] to bring back the lost but lovely tradition of bedtime stories that make children afraid to sleep. After my second outing with the Princess and Mr. Whiffle, I have one more comme...
I just love the author's wicked picture books that aren't for kids! This adventure was almost as fun as the first. The first was a bigger shock with the surprise ending. This one, I already knew it would be dark, but it was longer and loads of fun. Definitely NOT for young children.
Story I liked this one a lot more than the first. It was less depressing for one. It's still quite twisted in places though, and definitely dark. I thought it was a lot of fun though, and as a picture book, a very quick/easy read.If you liked the first one, you'll likely enjoy this, and if you were so-so on the first, you should give this one a shot, you may find it an improvement like I did.It's still a borrow from the library book thing for me though. It's not something I'd read a bunch of
My first thought when I opened this wonderful book, was "Yeah! More craziness from Mr. Rothfuss!" What I really got was another crazy story but it lacked the punch like the first did! I still give it 4 stars because of the illustrations which are spot. Now the Princess has a baby brother to deal with and let's just say it's typical older sister not liking to have share and do things for her little brother. He ends up getting into trouble and she has to step up and be the big sister in order to s...
Well, where do I begin? Most reviews of this book state it's longer than the first one, but the twist isn't as good, and you know what? That's pretty spot on. The first book will take you about 5 minutes to read, and has a surprising twist, that makes since if you read it again. This book will take you about 30 minutes to read, and has a very, very, VERY confusing twist, I've read the book twice, and I still don't understand the ending twist. Maybe a third read will do it? Who knows. Probably th...
A much more involved story than the Princess' first adventure. And with 33% more characters! Yet somehow not quite as satisfying. Still a good read, however.
I love this book! I again bought this from the illustrator, Nate Taylor, at the Rose City comicon in Portland, Or (although sadly, i picked up the wrong book ... a blank one, not the one signed by Mr Taylor). Again there are 3 endings although IMO it's really just one ending with two places to pause your reading. I LOVED IT. Very old school fairy tale and refreshing story of overcoming fears and the love of family. Anything more said will delve too much in the plot. I highly recommend everyone r...
I love the second installment of the princess and Mr. Whiffle. I treated myself to an autographed copy from Worldbuilders.org for an early Christmas gift and I’m so happy that I did. I loved that it was longer than the first. It expands on the princess’s family too. The illustrations are wonderful! I do hope that there will be a third book. They are so much fun and frankly, the princess is a badass too.
I actually think this one was a big improvement on the first Princess and Mr. Whiffle book. I loved the glimpses of the parents and the whole Goblin scenario. The Mr-Whiffle-as-Scout gag actually made me laugh. It took the interesting mood of the first book and glossed it over a more substantial plot. Highly recommend for creepy children or adults who like picture books.
