The Mystery Knight: A Graphic Novel - George R.R. Martin (book review)

Book: The Mystery Knight: A Graphic Novel Author: George R.R. Martin Genre: Fantasy, Fiction, Graphic Novel Published By: Bantam Published Year: 2017 My Review: Having received this novel as a Christmas present I couldn't resist but to read it this month and see what I thought about this. As my first time reading anything by George R.R. Martin I feel that this was a good way of easing me into his writing. When I received this book I didn't realise that it was the third in a series of novels so my opinion will be based off of this book as a stand alone!

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - Akira Himekawa (book review)

Majora's Mask is the second graphic novel from the Legend of Zelda series by Akira Himekawa. As a Zelda fan myself and liking the game that this is based off of I found this book really enjoyable. It changes parts of the game in order to get it faster paced for the book however this doesn't fault the book at all. Not only this but the graphics within this book are really good and made me love the book even more while also making me have the music from the game in my head. The book also has a bonus story at the end which is about the making of the mask and how the mask came into being, I found this really fitting and something that is not only original but something that needed to be added to the book. As in the games it doesn't tell you how the mask was made or the story behind it this bonus story seemed like a more fulfilling piece of the story and tied up any loose ends such as how the mask came to be and why it is cursed. As a Zelda fan I can't fault this book ...
