1. Emma - 2 stars -
I was really disappointed with the Rainbow Magic books. The storylines were extremely repetitive and predictable. Every book seemed to follow the same formula - two girls going on a magical adventure, rescuing a fairy, and saving the day. The characters were also one-dimensional and lacked depth. It was hard to feel any connection or empathy towards them. Overall, I found the series to be boring and unoriginal.
2. John - 1 star -
I couldn't stand the Rainbow Magic books. The writing style was basic and lacked any real substance. The dialogue was cheesy and the descriptions were uninspiring. The plots were overly simplistic and felt like they were written for a much younger audience. I tried to give the series a chance, but after a few books, I couldn't bear to continue. It was a complete waste of time for me.
3. Sarah - 3 stars -
Rainbow Magic books were just not my cup of tea. The stories were too childish and lacked any depth. The themes and morals behind the books were overly simplistic and didn't offer much substance or complexity. Additionally, the writing style was quite simple and didn't engage me as a reader. While I understand that these books are meant for a younger audience, I found them too shallow and unappealing even for their intended age range.
4. Michael - 2 stars -
I found the Rainbow Magic books to be repetitive and formulaic. The plots were predictable and lacked any surprises. The characters were forgettable, and the dialogue felt forced and unnatural. The books lacked the depth and complexity that I look for in a good fantasy series. Overall, I was not impressed with the Rainbow Magic books and wouldn't recommend them to anyone looking for a captivating and original story.
