"Fast-paced, action-driven, stand-alone stories. . . .The large font, ample spacing, and full-page illustrations make these titles a clear choice for reluctant and struggling readers. . . .Striking full-color illustrations reflect the dark tone of both books, with characters in shadow more often than not. Discussion questions, writing prompts, and glossaries are included, as are dossiers on the main characters. Overall, acceptable additions to hi/lo collections, particularly those low on fantasy titles."
