Hinemuru and Pehis went for a walk into the forest near a lake; her father sent Meariki to bring her back to the village. While Meariki was going to find Hinemuru, Tanekikiwa came to the village to see Te mihiau to look for his daughter Te mihiua willingly said: "she's not here" but Tanekikiwa demandingly said, "In three days time I will marry your daughter". Back at the lake Pehi and Meariki were arguing while Hinemuru was taking a swim, all of a sudden out of nowhere Tanekikiwa came dashing down to collect Hinemuru. Meariki and Pehi go on a whole journey to save Hinemuru.

I'd rate this book 5/5 I like how they used a variety of things they had to go through in order to find/save Hinemuru, I liked how it brought Meariki and Pehi closer than they were to begin with.
I disliked nothing.

But accompanying the princess is Pehi, who is the Prince of Kaitipua, soon to be chief when married Hineamuru. Meariki soon realizes that Pehi is just selfish and lazy. But suddenly, Tanekikiwa, a demon,  arrives out of nowhere inside the villages walls. Seeking his betrothed, Hineamuru.

Once Meariki and Pehi return to the village, they told the chief that his daughter had been taken. But soon after the slave and Pehi were about to leave to rescue, Makura, the village mind reader, went to read Meariki's mind but couldn’t. Off the warriors went to the cave of Whatupoa, however all the warriors died and Pehi was turned into a pig. So Meariki fixed the problem; refilling the bowl with sacred water in seconds rather than years. In doing so, Matariki was granted 3 choices from the webbing that holded the pig (pehi), and weapons. Te Wero, a fire tipped knife, a diamond scale shield, and Pehi. Off they set to the lair of Tanekikiwa.

The journey is long and dangerous, and to rescue Hineamuru before she has to marry Tanekikiwa. Demons, Two Headed wolfs, and man eating maidens. Will the two be able to rescue their friend, or will they become the enormous eagles meal?

I liked this book because it is very easy to read, and instead of having to image a picture in your head, the picture is just right in front of you to see.

I don’t have anything I disliked.

Rate - 5 / 5 because it’s very detailed.
