Stepping Back...
I haven't been able to find time to reach much of Guardians, but hopefully I will finish it this week. Lasky's language is simple, which also makes it beautiful and very easy for the demographic it is geared toward to understand it all the while enjoying it. I enjoy it more and more every time I pick it up, but reading 4 books at a time can be a daunting task. I'm excited to finish and see the movie though, which premieres this Friday. I'm going to try to wait until I read the first three books; the movie is based on those solely, and I don't want to spoil anything. Guardians, I'm sorry it is taking so long for me to break in your bindings.

You've mentioned Lasky's language a couple of times--it's simple and beautiful. Is there a particular use of imagery? Or, is there lots of work done around the setting? Sometimes that's a real hallmark of fantasy and science fiction. Because the authors work so hard to create other worlds, they have to do a lot of work to help us see and experience them. How has Lasky done that in this series? And, how was the movie?
