son of the shadows Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Mine would have to be either Time Trap for reveling a lot of info on how the Toa Metru were chosen and Legacy of Evil for giving us a bunch of info and history of our favorite character! So what are yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creep Of The Deep Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 From what I have (Which are... Five books, Chronicles 1, Adventures 1 and 2 and Legends 1 and 2), my favorite is Dark Destiny by far. It was the best book I've ever read. Makes me wonder, where the hay did I left it ?

Erebus Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 My favorite book would have to be Raid On Vulcanus. I liked that there were no Toa to use elemental powers. It was just raw fighting skills used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Smoke Monster Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 My favorite book would be either Time Trap or Downfall. Both were really good books, but I can't decide which one is better.

Terminus Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Time Trap and The Final Battle. Both were great, but I haven't read any Bionicle recently, I've just flipped through the comics...

Stryker055 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Time Trap, Legacy of Evil, Downfall, and The Final Battle were all fantastic. Quote Check out Brown Box Reviews, where I review toys... and that's about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewa Krom Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 *sigh* I'm going to have to with the cliche and say Time Trap (though it's a cliche with good reason). I would also say Island of Doom and Dark Destiny are high up on the list. Quote Keep in mind that if Star Trek fans had, as a group, said, "No point in talking about this anymore, it's never going to come back," it never WOULD have come back. -- Greg Farshtey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takatu Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Definitely Time Trap, I think the fact that it had fewer characters compared to the rest helped a lot. And plus it was Makuta at his very best. I liked Legacy of Evil's backstory, but Downfall played out beautifully. I'll throw in The Final Battle too, for the ending. The rest seemed kind of run-of-the-mill Toa vs. Bad Guys that had been going on for a while, but once the energy storms started and Greg offed half the characters at once, it really became awesome.

Varaka Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 My favorites would have to be Voyage Of Fear, Maze Of Shadows, and Time Trap. The first few books of "BIONICLE Legends" were pretty good too. Quote [Minion of Swertboss] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Daedalus) Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 *Incoming Transmission* It's a three-way tie: Voyage of Fear, Maze of Shadows, and Tales of the Toa. But out of those three, I think Maze of Shadows wins. *End Transmission* Quote My epic: For Them (Review Topic) BZPRPG: Trauer and Faora Bionifight Ultimate: Daedalus Drachoren and Von Worten Undtränen The Elder Scrolls: Ashfall: K'Larn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Kaitan de Storms Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I'll do it by series: Chronicles: Tale of the Toa (Heavy Kopaka focus, took a definite interest in the emotions and character of the Toa). Adventures: Time Trap (Very dramatic, rather philosophical; involved screwing with time). Legends: Dark Destiny (I really liked the darker tone the book took; it made Power Play rather disappointing, actually).

Toa of Nerds Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 My two favorites are Time Trap and Web of Shadows. Time Trap because it had only a single protagonist and so it allowed Greg to develope that one character more, as opposed to having to develope six and one time. Web of Shadows mainly due to Vakama's treachery. For the first time, the good guys weren't always good, and that enhanced the story. -don't touch my pocket protector Quote Three great comedies at one low, low price....NOTHING!

Grant-Sud Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Very hard to choose. Maze of Shadows (so much back story for the island of Mata Nui), Time Trap (Makuta, Dark Hunters and Order of Mata Nui reference. Genius. Also Vakama's best character development), Downfall (Matoro dies and doesn't come back ;- or Swamp of Secrets (Toa Mata history is just win). Also the books where Greg had more freedom were the best.

Peach 00 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Inferno is probably my favorite, although I haven't read many Bionicle books. Nonetheless, it's the most enjoyable one for me. Quote On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...

Meiko Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I never got too into the books, but one of my brothers read them to me a couple of times (because I was too lazy too, and I needed them to pronounce things and explain other stuff early-on). I don't remember specific books, but I enjoyed the first four of the first series a lot!

VBBN Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Time trap for sure. My favorite series was all of the legends but, time trap was so unique and introduced concepts that were quite awesome in my opinion, and finally gave us a book with a story not based off of sets released at the time, it gave us a story based on Dark Hunters and makuta and all of those such things.

vulpelibrorum Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Time Trap was simply pure, pure genius; an undisputed home run for Greg F. It was practicaly a Bionicle Twilight Zone episode, and I can't think of any other Bionicle book that can receive that distinction. Then I would probably put Tales of the Masks in second, and then maybe that story about Nidhiki that was in the first Bionicle Encyclopedia.

Harvali Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Because resistance is futile; Time Trap. It made up for the rest of 2005. Aside from that, maybe the 2006 novels. The Matoran finally get fed up with the Turaga, and then Jaller leads five other Matoran on a rescue plan to save the Toa Nuva. I know that Matoran were useful in prior years, 2001-2003 were major examples of heroic Matoran, but this made me think that becoming a Toa might actually be a step down from Matoran.
