Star vs. the Forces of Evil: The Magic Book of Spells

It came as shown and is great quality

The perfect book for any Star vs. the Forces of Evil fan. The book can keep you entertained through it's superb artwork, or incredible detail towards information of the characters and story lines.

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.

If you like Star vs the forces of evil, this is perfect! Absolutely love the book.

Expectations met.

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.

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

Fantastic book. Bought for daughter who loves the cartoon. Does not disappoint, she loved cracking the code text within the book and the notes from Star and Glossaryck. She has enjoyed adding her own section to the book too

Bought as a birthday present! Really nice

Come da titolo è stato il mio primo acquisto Amazon il primo di molti, davvero ben fatto ed arrivato in tempi brevi, peccato perché il cartone era bello. Per collezionisti

Super mais il faut bien emballer

Etant une grande fan de ce dessin animé je me suis jetée sur ce livre dès que je l'ai vu en vente ! Et il vaut le détoure !! Ce livre nous plonge dans l'univers du dessin animé en nous montrant le véritable "Book of Spells" de Star Butterfly et des précédentes reines de mewni. Celui regorge d'informations inédites et de petits secrets qui vous permettront de mieux connaitre la série. Cependant petit message au français qui voudraient avoir ce livre : le niveau d'anglais est intermédiaire et l'écriture de certaines pages rend la lecture un peu plus compliqué. À part ça je le recommande à 100% ! P.S = J'ai essayé de pratiquer les sorts dans le livre mais hélas ça ne fonctionne pas :-(

This is a great book to read.
