This book is about two tribes ; one tribe has everything such as food, water, trees ... But the other tribe is starving, is made into hard dealing for the food and water that the owners own.  

  In the two tribes are at war but two "Love Birds" are in love.  They are from different tribes their parents do not want them to see each other, their names were Kahu and Kuratawhiti. They get married and plan their further together. A danger lingers around the corner... 

Kahu fights for his beloved against his awesome sister, Mira who unchanged a long long lifetime of rage at Kuratawhiti and her fellow friend, family, and tribe mates.

I give this book a 4/5 

I like the setting, the action that took place.

14/20

The setting is in a village and a cave. The village is not a very good village if you are a slave, they treat you like you have no feelings. The is were the spider lady lives what her giant pet spider.

The main characters are Meariki, Pehi, hineamuru and Tanekikwa. Meariki is a slave of the village and is not treated fairly. Pehi likes Hineamuru and wants to marry her but is cruel to meariki, the slave. Hineamuru is a maiden that is going to get married to Pehi. Tanekikwa Doesn’t want Pehi and Hineamuru to get married instead he wants to marry Hineamuru.

So what happens is That Hineamuru goes to the river to have a swim because of it being a hot day. Tanekikwa wants to marry her but he knows she will say now so he kidnaps her when she is in the river. Pehi and Meariki have to find Hineamuru before it is too late. Will they succeed in this dangerous quest?

I rate this a 4/5. I liked how at the end it has a unexpected turn. I disliked that there were so many maori names to remember.

Meariki- The Quest for Truth Book review 13/20

Author- Helen Pearse Otene & Andrew Burdan

Genre- Graphic Novel

In a village named Kuwai lived a muscular chief called Te Mihiau followed by his servant or companion Makura. He also had a girl slave called Meariki and Te Mihiau had a boy called Pehi who took care a little for Meariki but still was bossy around her. There was this bad grey guy called Tanekikiwa with a eagle and had about 6 bad wifes. Before everyone was living a good life. Then the bad enemy came and tried to get this girl back called Hineamuru because she was with Pehi and Meariki came along. But then since Tanekikiwa trespassed Te Mihiau’s village and told him that he is going to get Hineamuru.

The characters are Te Miahau a chief of the village and he has a companion Makura with his boy Pehi and his girl slave Meariki. Also there was this girl that Pehi liked and her name was Hineamuru. There was the bad enemy Tanekikiwa with his eagle and bad 7 or 6 wifes. There was also a water necklace that cures and a shield. Pretty much all the people have muscular bodies and even Meariki was mean to Pehi when he turned into a pig and then she was calling him a scared pig because he was little and then when he was free he tried to make a plan to get the necklace because he wanted to grow back into a human so that was the only way to.

The story went like this. First Pehi and Meariki sneaked out to find the girl Hineamuru. But she escaped because Pehi let her go but Meariki wanted to do her job. Then a bad enemy came to get Hineamuru. His name was Tanekikiwa. Then they went again to get her and they ended up traveling everywhere in a lot of places and went into wrong things. Then the bad enemy came and took Hineamuru and then they tried to get her back but it ended up that Meariki died and they were both sad and that’s how the story ended.

I liked this book review because this was a little backstory and it sounded pretty cool.

I disliked that there were heaps of things going around and it was a little hard to get in your head.

I rate this a 3/5 or 8/10.

Meariki - The Quest Of The Truth

Meariki,

The Quest For Truth.

Author: Helen Pearse - Otene and Andrew Burdan

14/20

Firstly, it all begins at the village. Hineamuru and Pehi went for a stroll away from the village. Hineamumu’s father Te Mihiau ordered a slave to bring Hineamumu back to the village. The polient and lovely slave was named Meariki. Meariki caught up to the two love birds. “Your father wants you to return back to the village.” Pehi treated the slave like she was a pest. He mentioned her as a slave scum, which was very disrespectful. Pehi and Hineamunu, didn’t listen to the Meariki and kept walking further down the path. They came upon a river. Well Pehi and Meariki were arguing and calling each other names, “crayfish head, “farty breathe,” Hineamunu  was relaxing and cooling off in the river.

Back at the village, Tanekikiwa appeared, with no invitation at all. The chief, Te Mihiau yelled “return to the other side, banish with your dark magic.” Bulky, muscled, red eye Vile Demon. Flew off into the sky on his huge terrifying eagle, to capture hineamunu. To be his beloved wife. His evil magic was impact in a flute.

I loved this book. I would rather read this book over and over again than Arohanui, revenge of the fey.

5/5
