My daughter who is 12 years old has just watched the first episode of Niko and the Sword of Light with me.

She thought the story line was genius, truly original and like nothing she has seen before. She really liked the fact that Princess Lira is very independent and provides a good example to young girls that it's not only male characters who can be strong and heroic.

The story has a great balance of adventure and humour and conveys a strong message about how believing in yourself and never giving up can enable you to achieve great things, even when the going gets really tough! The characters bring this message alive in a way that will really engage and inspire young people.

My daughter loved Niko and the Sword of Life and felt children younger than her will enjoy it too. The humour makes the scary bits not very scary!

These days, there are many great fantasy cartoons out there with engaging plots, such as Avatar: The Last Airbender, She-Ra, Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Pokémon, Tangled, Gravity Falls, Voltron, The Owl House, Amphibia, and even more. If you like any of those shows, this will be perfect for you. It is both lighthearted and fun, with emphasis on being fun and funny, but also has a great serious plot that will keep you interested. The animation might put some off as it resembles that of certain gross-out cartoons, but this is not one of those. This is a super fun action and fantasy show for anybody. Even if you don't have kids of your own, you should give it a try. You won't regret it!

I took some time to think on it after finishing season 2 last night, and while I'm not going to give away any spoilers...I found it very disappointing. The most I'll say is that one of the main perks the second season promised us - an exploration of Niko's backstory - is only brought up abruptly in the last half of the last episode. And while it is an interesting concept, it needed more time devoted to it both in-universe and out in order to truly flourish, and the execution of it is very rushed and sloppy and leads to the previously-mentioned ending of disappointment. (Without giving too much away, it's similar to how The Legend of Korra's second season ended off, in more ways than one.)

And while that is unfortunate, it's easier to stomach when season 2 already didn't raise my expectations higher than the first season already had, and since that one already ended on a perfect note, I'd say. The animation saw a marked improvement with many awe-inspiring effects, and some of the new settings were appealing, but the new characters weren't memorable (and never came back like the ones from the first season did), and the interactions between the original team started to get slightly stale after a while. Niko and Lyra reached their peak at the end of the first season, so their interactions here usually amount to sibling-like banter and such, Mandok is his usual cowardly self...and the one other thing I didn't like is that after growing into such an impressive shape by the end of the first season, Flicker starts off the second by regressing back to his base form, and he stays like that until the series ends. It was like they felt the need to shrink him down to make things more challenging for the heroes, but why not just leave him in Carondolet to begin with?

The second season also ends with hints that there may be a third sometime in the future, but it's worded a little vaguely, and honestly, even if it were true, the way the characters end off this season (one of them, specifically - again, no spoilers) makes it seem unlikely that I'd feel the same endearment toward them if I were to experience the story's continuance. Once you've seen for yourself the past few episodes, hopefully you'll comprehend what I mean.

I stumbled upon this show when flipping through Prime. I liked the story in both seasons. I didn't think that I would enjoy the 2nd season that much, but it was alright in the end. not a lot of character development, you just follow the Niko while he discovers the world and explore together with the Princess/Queen. Lovely world, where the dark battles with the light. Moral lessons present: greed, friendship, responsibilities, tradition vs new, inner self.
