Bionicle: Mata Nui's Guide to Bara Magna

I'd like to preface the review with a brief history of Bionicle. In 2001, the BIONICLE franchise was launched, with a simple story about 6 heroes who landed on a mysterious island, where a prophecy predicted they would defeat an ancient evil. As the story progressed, the scope of the plot expanded until we found out that this island was only a small part of the story's universe. This book looks at the setting of the storyline toward the end of its plot, a desert planet known as Bara Magna, which Mata Nui, the Great Spirit of the island civilization, explores.This book does not cover the story of the 2015 BIONICLE reboot.As far as books go, this one's decent. At only 96 pages, it's fairly thin. It also has a lot of illustration and a moderate amount of text, and it only covers one particular chapter in the story. The lore it covers will consequently be relatively light, and considering the entirety of the lore can be found on the Internet, this book isn't really for someone interested in learning the lore for their first time - the web would likely be a better place to go.However, this is a really good looking book with a nice collectible feeling - it's something nice to use for nostalgic reminiscence.

This book is packed with information. Great for young readers who are into Bionicle. Which I hope more will get into so it will make a stronger come back than 2017.

My son is very happy with it. The book is used and definitely in excellent condition! Thank you!!

Lots of info on characters and locations. There is also parts of stories, and some pages from the Legend Reborn movie novel, but it's a waste of space because you can look up the full stories online, and watch the whole movie or read its book. The book does not tell you about anything after the movie.

A well written guide, more in depth than what I had anticipated.

My guys like the facts and this book answers questions for them from the other books and the movie. We wish Lego would bring back the bionicles.

Condition as stated. Shipped quickly. Great book.

This isnt released in America yet, so when you're buying it used, make sure that it is NOT Makuta's Guide to the Universe or one of the graphic novels. I have noticed that Amazon mixes up the various unreleased BIONICLE books.But if you do get this one, its great. If you haven't seen the new movie, I advise aginst this book until you see it. There are some spoilers in this book.

My son enjoyed.
