Star vs. the Forces of Evil: The Magic Book of Spells Hardcover – Illustrated, 26 Sept. 2018

Expectations met.

If your a big fan of the Disney show Star vs the forces of evil. This book is for you. It's great fun, well made and full to the brim of cool background stuff the show doesn't have time to cover.We even tried making one of the recipes. Not the best but was a fun day and still edible.Probably not grate for the very young tho. I'd say 8+ personally.I got it as a joke gift for an adult and it was still read cover to cover. My godkids loved it too.

Great purchase I highly recomend if you are a fan of the show

Loved it! Really nice replica from the series and way more detailed than I thought it would be!

As described

Despite this, presumably, being intended primarily for a young readership, I have to admit to finding it an amusing and enjoyable tie in that successfully captures the humour and atmosphere of the television show.Intended to be the ‘Book of Spells’ seen in the programme (yes, there is kind of an explanation for its continued existence), it functions as some sort of unofficial history of the Queens of Mewni. It is written by the various queens themselves, who are quite an odd bunch. Each ‘chapter’ thus comes from the perspective of a particular queen (with every queen supposedly recording the spells they have learnt/invented) until the book is meant to have passed to their successor.Inevitably this means that some sections are a lot more interesting and/or longer than others, some of the queens of Mewni being quite useless. This also means, therefore, that the sections ‘composed’ by Eclipsa and Moon are probably of the greatest interest as they have more relevance to the events of the programme.Of course, this being the ‘Book of Spells’ means that Glossaryck has a substantial input. He serves as the reader’s guide throughout, providing the introduction and literally popping up in the pages intermittently to provide ‘helpful’ information (often about pudding or pie).In an effort to represent the various queens, the text in each section appears in different handwriting; some of which is occasionally a little tricky to read. Occasionally there are bits written in Low Mewnian. Rather than being another language as such, it is actually English in code. It is a fairly simple code to break (the usual ‘the’s, ‘and’s and ‘a’s are easy enough to identify) but probably not for younger readers.Visually it is quite an impressive book and the cover is good rendition of the version seen on screen.So, if you are interested in the history of Mewni that forms the background to the programme, want to learn more about its queens or just want to cook Mewnipendence Day Pie, then this is the book.

This is the best book ever!!! As a svtfoe super fan it's so much fun learning about the history of the queens of Mewni. It gives you so much more insight about the show! You can even make your own Queensona.

Great little prezzie! My Goddaughter loves it! Magical! Thank you!
