If there is a comic called Maze you know I needed to review it. This is the story of a boy names Nico and what happens in his dreams when he goes to sleep. And what happens is Nico goes on adventures with his friend Góreck. The book takes place almost entirely in the dream world and that makes for some wonderful illustrations as long can see on the cover. I really enjoyed the number of full page illustrations in the comic and the story is good too. A key part of the story is Góreck going ton his own adventure to find Nico and this involves traversing a maze in the dream world. If you get a chance this is a good read. And you do not need to take my word for it becasue it won the best new release category in 2018 of the Angelo Agostini Award, a Brazilian comic award.

The Labyrinth of Doom book cover

Today I review The Labyrinth of Doom by Stuart Gibbs and Stacy Curtis, which is the second book in the "Once Upon a Tim" series. The story follows Tim, a knight-in-training, and his best friend Belinda, as they embark on a quest to save Princess Grace. The princess needs rescuing again (also in book 1 of the series), and Tim and Belinda must face a series of challenges as they traverse a labyrinth, including menacing beasts like the minotaur and treacherous obstacles like chasms filled with cave sharks. Yes, cave sharks. I enjoyed the writing style a lot (maybe I like kids books ?) and found the story to be engaging. The illustrations are also fun by Stacy Curtis.

This is a great book for kids, that I recommend.
