Comments: This game is the next of a series of 4 games (I'm guessing Book of Fire and then Book of Earth will be next?) and it follows along with the other story. Unfortunately, like most of the other ones, it is quite boring. The first one was great because it was new and kinda interesting but the new ones are totally boring for me. It doesn't really help that the girl they got the do Lyra's voice speaks in a monotone for the whole time, doesn't matter that she nearly killed her father with some funky potion or that she has no idea where her mum went, always the same bland tone throughout the game.
The artwork is nice and the cutscenes are different from the last games. They're like sketch drawings. It works nicely with the map section of the game, which is in old style with moving octopus in the ocean and a puffing sun in the sky.
Just like in all the games the objects are seriously HARD to find. It's sometimes like trying to find a brass button in a scenes where its all metal. HARD SHIT. The cursor doesn't change if you hover over an item, it just has a hovering box that says the name, which is quite easy to miss. They really do need to find a better way of hiding items because it just pisses me off. The puzzles in this one were pretty easy compared to the others and that came as a surprise. I was expecting the puzzles to be as hard as finding items.
