Summary: Where is Sorsha and Madmartegin?
Review: I loved the movie, so when I heard about the book, I rushed to find it. I am absolutly obssessed with the movie and probably the reason I loved it so much was the humor between Sorsha and Madmartigan. I really liked Willow too. The book was good, I'll give it that, but I will always love the movie more. Why did the writers and George Lucas turn Willow into a cold, killing sorcerer, not the kind, self-concious farmer I fell in love with? I was so sad when I found out they killed off my two favorite characters! Why get rid of 3/4 of the reason I wanted to read the book? I thought the beginnig was hilarious because in my mind I could see Sorsha and Madmartigan (Joanne Whalley/Val Kilmer) fighting and making up. I was terribly disappointed that in this book they disposed of two of the greatest characters and substitued others that did not have that special quality

Summary: Good but still jarring
Review: I loved Willow and I enjoyed this series especially once I got to book 3 but it is a hard sequel to the delightful original movie.
However it is closer, but still darker than the original book written by Lucas for Willow.
Another point I need to make. I previous reviwer complains about the character of The Lord of the Dance that appears. What this woman does not relize is that the Lord of the Dance is an old celtic song about celtic/christian mythos and was meerly used by Mr Flatley as his center piece of music for his show. The character has nothing to do with Flatley or his show but I can understand why people not into celtic music or tradition may assume it is from Flatley's show.
Try these books they are quite good but do not look for a repeat of the movie!

Summary: Excellent, only needing a little help
Review: I read this without having read Shadow Moon or Willow and I thought it was great. I am an advid fan of fantasy and the D&D genre. I found the book easy to follow with very few exceptions in the less eventful areas. After talking to friends we have come to the conclusion this book is easier to follow if you already have a strong fantasy & folk lore understanding. The charcters were very vivid with the exception of Duguay which was done on purpose. I found myself never needing to stuggle to visualize the scenery or scenerio. This is a very good read.

Summary: Find a quiet place, read it in one sitting! Excellent!
Review: I was looking for a new series for my son (Post Redwall). Bought the first two and then sat down to check it out before stuffing it into his Christmas stocking. Could not put it down! The maturation of the characters from Willow through Shadow Moon is fascinating and completely credible. I am eagerly awaiting the third novel. Keep them coming!

Summary: Just gets better and better
Review: In Shadow Moon, we are brought to Thorn years after the movie "Willow" took place and at first was a little slow, but once you're brought up to date, it flows along easily. With Shadow Dawn, it's three years later and you can see Elora has grown and continues to grow throughout the book. She learns the things she should of been taught all along. It's fast paced non stop all the way. I couldn't put it down. And when I did, it was reluctantly. I'm going to have a hard time waiting for the next book, wanting to learn how the deceiver came to be, which was very surprising who it is. I really enjoyed this book and highly recomend it.

Summary: Damn good book
Review: It was all I had hoped for after reading the first one, Shadow Moon. Once I got into it, I couldn't stop reading. I loved it for so many reasons - it wasn't predictable, it developped more on Elora's life, the author made you feel as though you knew the characters, and more. I can't wait for the third book, hopefully it will be out soon.
