Wow. Tbh this was the first full fnaf thing I ever read and I actually quite enjoyed it. I can’t wait to read the rest of the trilogy.

I love how much this links into the stuff MatPat is always going on about and the games.

I mean Charlie and John could have been explored more but I loved it.

The stuff with the animatronics being what they are really fits in despite there not being a clear motive of why they were like that.

It’s understandable if people who never played the games or know anything about fnaf don’t like this book but I quite enjoyed it.

Also proud that this is the first book I haven’t cracked the spine on… (más)

I got into FNAF years ago when my two boys started playing the game. At first, I wasn’t impressed but when my youngest son came home with the book and wanted to read it I took notice. My boys are not readers like their mama, so anytime they’ve shown interest in the written word I am all for it, even if it’s not my cup of tea. We started reading The Silver Eyes together, but life ended up getting in the way and we never finished it.

One thing that immediately struck me about FNAF was the lore and how Scott Cawthon created FNAF. The evolution of the franchise is fascinating but messy to say the least. After watching a ton of Markiplier game play on YouTube, plus watching the recently released Five Night’s at Freddy’s movie, I decided to pick up The Silver Eyes again and see if I could establish a better foundation behind the lore and gain a better understanding of the story as a whole.

I not only read The Silver Eyes but also listened to the audiobook, but I feel like listening to it made it less impactful. The narrator did a decent enough job, but it was blatantly obvious just how elementary the writing is. I know that these stories are geared towards a younger audience, but I do believe it could’ve been better written overall.

I finished the novel feeling even more confused than when I began. I tried to come to this novel without any prior knowledge of FNAF lore, but it was hard not to be impartial when I’m already in so deep. I love this franchise, especially since animatronics coming alive is something that has haunted my nightmares since my first trip to Showbiz Pizza, but the lore making no sense is beyond frustrating. I do plan on continuing the series to see if I can come to a better conclusion, but the way things look right now I don’t know if I’ll ever get the answers I’m craving.… (más)

Five Night's at Freddy's: The Silver Eyes was an incredible read that gives an insider view into the FNAF lore and world Scott Cawthon has created in the games.

The worst part about this book (yes I'm starting with the worst) is that Scott Cawthon made it clear that this book is not completely canon and does not align up with the video games. Once you finally connect all these dots and think you solve the story, Scott has to go and switch up his lore! But that doesn't ruin this book at all, if anything it makes you try to connect little dots here and there to match up with the video game universe lore.

This book was a great addition to the FNAF world. I really enjoyed reading this story from another point of view. It gave great visual cues and was one of the few "horror YA" novels that I could actually get into.

For those who are into horror, and carnivals or old childhood tales, this book is definitely for you! It gives you a creepy, Chuck E Cheese vibe (if you haven't heard or read about FNAF before). These scary animatronics are attacking children and have even killed in the past. Or so they thought...

The lore is expanded so beautifully that I deem it an absolute must read for YA lovers, horror enthusiasts or FNAF fans.

There are bits and pieces that seem out of place, like specific markings on floorings being described or old childhood memories that seem to appear out of nowhere, but I know Scott Cawthon - everything is important. Perhaps in the next book these silly, little descriptions and features of this book will change the way we look at FNAF forever.

I am incredibly excited to see Charlie's story continue in the next novel (which HAS been announced! Yay!) and hopefully we might see her hinted at in any future FNAF games? Hopefully!!

Five out of five stars!… (más)

The Fourth Closet by Scott Cawthon tied up some of the FNAF literature universe, but opened up a whole 'nother can of worms.

I was a little too hooked to this book, but mainly because I am totally obsessed with the FNAF lore. The video games, the potential movie, the books! All of them are my guilty pleasure, which I will easily admit. But this book? It tops the other two. I found the first book to be intriguing, the second book to lag just a bit, and this book went flying off the handle to utter insanity! In a good way.

If you are going to take anything out of this book, it's the strange way Scott is weaving and changing lore. The books don't perfectly match up to the video games, but they will definitely spike your interest if you have played the games. There are easter eggs and references to so many different parts of the games that it's almost hard to keep track of. Yet, it all works for perfectly well.

I found myself really hooked to this story and I didn't want to put it down. It is fast paced and full of crazy twists and turns that you will need to read the first three books for. But, you could easily jump into this series if you haven't played the games. Playing the games just makes the easter eggs in this book more fun!

If you don't like sci-fi or thriller type books, this novel isn't for you. The hype about the supernatural aspects of this book is unreal and goes beyond what I expected. The book is no longer just a silly YA novel, it's full of technology and supernatural twists.

I found the ending... interesting. I'll leave it at just that word, because the ending left me feeling like I had tons more questions coming out then going in. While I did get some answers and I thought the ending itself was a nice way to tie up the story, it really didn't tie up the story that well. It made the story end, but it didn't close the story as nicely as I wanted. So, maybe there will be another side series or another game or something that ties this storyline up. I hope, anyways.

Five out of five stars.

This was one of the few books I paid full price for. This whole series I was desperate to read, so lucky Scott Cawthon got my money on this one.… (más)
