Review: E. Aster Bunnymund and the Warrior Eggs at the Earth’s Core

E. Aster Bunnymund and the Warrior Eggs at the Earth’s Core by William Joyce
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Pitch, the Nightmare King, and his Fearlings had been soundly driven back by Nicholas St. North and company in the first Guardians’ adventure. But now Pitch has disappeared completely—and out of sight does NOT make for out of mind. It seems certain that he’s plotting a particularly nefarious revenge, and the Guardians suspect he might have gone underground. But how can they find him there?
Enter E. Aster Bunnymund, the only emissary of the fabled brotherhood of the Pookas—the league of philosophical warrior rabbits of imposing intellect and size. Highly skilled in martial arts (many of which he invented himself), Bunnymund is brilliant, logical, and a tunnel-digger extraordinaire. If the Guardians need paths near the Earth’s core, he’s their Pooka. He’s also armed with magnificent weapons of an oval-sort, and might just be able to help in the quest for the second piece of the Moonclipper.
This second book in The Guardians series is about much more than fixing a few rotten eggs—it brings the Guardians one step closer to defeating Pitch!

As you may or may not know or remember, the main reason I decided to read this book series was the Dreamworks movie it inspire: Rise of the Guardians. Bunny was my favorite character from said movie—I liked the idea of the fluffy Easter Bunny as a burly, vaguely Wolverine-esque character (and yes, the fact that ROTG was made after Hugh Jackman’s rise to fame most likely helped produce the inspiration for it) so I was quite curious to know how he would be presented in this book. I was…surprised, really, to discover how much change he went through while going from book to film (to be fair, seeing as I suspect Nightlight to be Jack, I would say Bunny isn’t the only one) though the specific discussion of those will have to wait for the ROTG review I’m planning to do once I finish reading the books.
