TWR Blog Tour Book Review ~ Buddy the Knight and the Queen of Sorrow by Peter David

BUDDY IS NO ORDINARY TEDDY BEAR.

He's a Knight, crafted by The Nameless Wizard himself, and sworn to protect his Person, 10-year old Mieya, from all the Things-That-Go-Bump-In-The-Night.

When Mieya is cursed into a magical sleep, it's up to Buddy and his friends Esteban the Bard, Sasha the Warrior-Princess, and Copper the Butterfly to journey across The Realm-Under-The-Bed and find the one responsible.

But this is no ordinary Quest. The Realm is a dangerous Place, filled with jungles, deserts, lightning storms, and Monsters. But worst of all is The Queen of Sorrow who waits for them in her dark castle in the crags. To break her curse, Buddy will need more than his skill with a blade, Esteban's witty songs, or Sasha's ferocious might.

He'll need Heart.

My heart! It can’t take this! I’d give my heart to Buddy, in, well, a heartbeat, but I’m afraid it has already melted into a pool of goo.

This book is adorable! I mean, how could it not with that darling cover. Look at it. So cute! But wait, there’s more! In order to save his person, Mieya, from a nasty spell, Buddy must go on a Quest. That’s right, a capital Q-uest. And we all know how important a quest is when it’s in capital. *nods* Oh yeah, this is dangerous stuff here. However, Buddy is no ordinary teddy bear. He is a Knight crafted by none other than the Nameless Wizard. Buddy sets off with a bard and picks up some friends along the way.

This is a book for everyone. I can’t even think of someone who would dislike this. Ok, I can actually think of some people, but I would never be friends with them, so poop on them. Not literally. Ok, yes, maybe literally. Because this book is the teddy bear’s knees. If you’re a fan of heartwarming storylines, dangerous quests, and fantastic characters then do not pass this up.

A native son of Massachusetts, Peter has been living in the Deep South for over 25 years. By day, he’s an insurance professional, saving the world one policy at a time. But at night, well, no one really wants to see him fighting crime in his Spider-Man onesie. Instead, Peter develops new worlds of adventure influenced by his love of science fiction, mysteries, music and fantasy. Whether it’s running role-playing games for his long-time friends, watching his beloved New England sporting teams vie for another championship, or just chilling with a movie, his wife, two boys, one puppy and three cats, Peter’s imagination is always on the move. It’s the reason why his stories are an eclectic blend of intrigue, excitement, humor and magic, drawn from four decade’s worth of television, film, novels and comic books.
