Guardian of the Dead Audiobook

" This just isn't my type of novel. Fans of paranormal and mythological fiction would probably like it better. "

" This urban fantasy book almost read like a high fantasy for me since everything I know about New Zealand was learned from multiple viewings of Lord of the Rings. Despite the fact that I had to run to Wikipedia every five minutes while reading GUARDIAN OF THE DEAD, I really enjoyed it. The author did a great job of weaving together several different mythologies and creating multi-layered characters. "

" This started out slow and actually kind of annoying, but then it turned into everything I have ever loved. "

" This is an urban fantasy which is not, in fact, about werewolves, vampires, or zombies. It draws on Maori mythology instead, a whole fascinating mythos I knew nothing about. "

" I loved this, I really did but the fact that its a white girl who ends up saving the day, leaves a bitter aftertaste. "

" yawn :( i just cudnt feel it "

" This book just seemed like a disaster to me. In the beginning, it was really interesting and seemed like it would make for a great read. About half way through, it seemed to just do a flip flop, and got pretty cheesy and just all together really confusing. "

" I originally rejected this, but after talking it over with Anna, I decided to try again. This time, it worked. I read it in one sitting and quite enjoyed it. "

" This was a great new modern edgy fantasy title, set in New Zealand & using Maori legends as the basis for the supernatural elements. I liked it because it was something new & different in the dark fantasy genre! "

" The earthquake plot ends up being kind of creepy after real-life events. I still really dislike the white mask cover, although at least it turns out to be plot-related. The up-the-nose shot is just uncalled for and totally off-putting. "

" It was a little confusing and the dialogue seemed pretty fun, but perhaps not my kinda book. 3/5 "

" The beginning was good, but when it started getting into witches and magical beings I lost interest completely. I wanted to read a horrifying murder story, not a magical/twilight cliche. "

" Good book. I did not want to read it at first but when I started it, i got really into it. It's an interesting read. :) "

" I thought this book was awesome, but it was disturbing in most parts and that REALLY bothered me. "

" Weird book an adaptation of Maori mythology. Set in New Zealand. A young adult love story also. "

" Pretty good. Liked it! Great cover as well. "

" Set in New Zealand and incorporates New Zealand mythology. Maybe I read it too fast, but I had trouble getting into the mythology of the book. Pretty fun, though. "

" I have some quibbles, but was mostly pleased with it. I loved the New Zealand setting and learning a bit of Maori mythology was really fascinating, while overall Ellie was a pretty strong character. "

" Took me forever to read the dam thing, and as such the experience was in fragments, but nonetheless it was very original and interesting! And I loved having a really angry, moody protagonist; she felt so completely 'real' to me, all negative traits included. "

" 3.5<br/>Listened to on playaway <br/>Loved the readers australian accent<br/>Loved the Maori myths- you almost need to know some Maori myths to keep up with storyline<br/> "
