I can confidently say the Garmadon book is absolutely tied to the anime. It dives into Lord Garmadon's backstory, exploring his transformation from a noble warrior to the villain we know. The book fleshes out details the anime only hints at, like his relationship with his sons Lloyd and Wu, and the darker forces that shaped him. If you're a fan of the show, the book adds layers to the lore, making it a must-read. The writing style keeps the spirit of 'Ninjago' alive, blending action and emotion just like the series.
What I love most is how it humanizes Garmadon, showing his struggles and making him more than just a one-dimensional bad guy. It’s a great companion piece for anyone invested in the 'Ninjago' world.
From a collector’s perspective, the Garmadon book is a treasure for 'Ninjago' fans. It’s packed with Easter eggs and references that tie directly into the anime, like Garmadon’s first encounter with the Overlord and his training under Master Chen. The book doesn’t just retell his story; it expands on pivotal moments, like the decision to use the Mega Weapon or his conflicted feelings about Lloyd’s destiny.
The writing captures Garmadon’s voice perfectly, balancing his menacing side with glimpses of the man he once was. It’s a darker take compared to the anime’s lighter episodes, but that’s what makes it compelling. The book also clarifies ambiguities, such as how Garmadon’s resurrection in later seasons aligns with his earlier defeats.
For fans who enjoy the show’s mythology, this is a deep cut into one of its most complex characters. The action scenes are vivid, almost like reading an unaired episode. Plus, the cover art and interior designs are stunning, making it a great addition to any 'Ninjago' collection.
The Garmadon book is a fascinating expansion of the 'Ninjago' anime’s universe, especially for lore enthusiasts. It doesn’t just rehash the show’s events; it builds on them, offering new insights into Garmadon’s motivations and past. The book explores his early life, his fall to darkness, and the complex dynamics within his family, which the anime touches on but never delves into deeply. The narrative style mirrors the anime’s tone—fast-paced and full of twists—but with more room for introspection.
One of the standout aspects is how it connects to key moments in the series, like the Destiny’s Bounty arc and the Final Battle. The book also introduces minor characters and events that enrich the overarching story. For fans who enjoy analyzing character arcs, Garmadon’s journey here is a goldmine. It’s not just a side story; it feels essential to understanding the anime’s broader themes of redemption and legacy.
If you’re into world-building, the book adds depth to locations like the Underworld and the Monastery of Spinjitzu, making the 'Ninjago' universe feel even more immersive. The illustrations and callbacks to iconic scenes from the anime are a nice touch too. It’s clear the writers collaborated closely with the show’s creators to keep everything consistent.

The dragons and royals are at war. Dragons have power and the royals want it to cement their rule in their kingdoms. Rather than creating a bond between the two, the royals have been stealing dragon eggs, hoping they will bond with the dragon once it hatches, allowing the royal to become a dragon rider. However, there is a thief among them, someone who is stealing the dragon eggs and returning them to the dragons. Someone who, when found, will be put to death.
Princess Skylar is the daughter of King Augustus. Her father has been hunting dragon eggs for years. Unbeknownst to him, Skylar is the thief that he is searching for. She does not agree with stealing dragon eggs from the mothers who make their nests away from the other dragons, making themselves vulnerable to attack. Her betrothed, Prince Kenneth, also supports stealing dragon eggs in the hope of bonding with a dragon and making his kingdom stronger.
Ryuki is a dragon rider. He bonded with his dragon, Bynjym, a year ago when he stumbled across him in the wild. The bond between dragon and rider is sacred. Ryuki and other dragon riders believe that it should never be forced. The riders fight against the royals who steal dragon eggs, working to keep them from being able to access the eggs, or fighting to get the eggs back to their dragon mothers.
What will happen when Ryuki realizes that Skylar is a royal like no other? Can Skylar keep her secret from her father, continuing to work inside the palace to take the stolen eggs back to their mothers? What will happen when Skylar realizes that her feelings for Ryuki are much stronger than her feelings for Prince Kenneth? Find out in The Dragon Thief.

Eliane is the daughter of Oliver, the scientist who tortured Ancalagon. She, herself, was experimented on, never seeing the outdoors until the night the dragons came for Ancalagon.

Eventually, Eliane believed that Ancalagon left her to suffer at her father's hands.

It’s during one of these blackouts, that she meets Snow, another dragon. They become friends and begin helping each other, protecting each other from the bad hybrids who are hunting them.
When Snow shifts, telling Elianne that his name is Iniko, he leaves a strange mark on her, his image over her heart. It forges a deeper connection between them and when the bad hybrids capture him, she runs to the elemental dragons for help.
What will happen when Ancalagon realizes that his brother has been claimed by his mate? How will Eliane react when she realizes that Ancalagon has been searching for her all this time.

I’ve been obsessed with LEGO Ninjago lore for years, and the 'Garmadon' book is one of my favorites. As far as I know, there isn’t a direct sequel, but the story continues in other Ninjago media. The character’s arc evolves significantly in the TV series, especially in later seasons like 'Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu' and 'Master of the Mountain.' If you’re looking for more Garmadon content, the 'LEGO Ninjago: Garmadon' graphic novel by Dark Horse Comics dives deeper into his backstory. The 'Legacy of the Green Ninja' arc in the show also explores his relationship with Lloyd in a way that feels like a spiritual successor to the book.
For fans craving more written material, the 'Ninjago: The Elemental Mechs' series and 'The Book of Spinjitzu' offer additional world-building. While not direct sequels, they expand the universe in ways that complement Garmadon’s journey. The lack of a formal sequel is a bummer, but the broader Ninjago franchise fills the gap with plenty of lore.
The 'Sensei Garmadon' novel is a fascinating dive into the backstory of one of 'LEGO Ninjago’s most complex characters. It explores Lord Garmadon’s transformation from a noble sensei to a conflicted villain, and eventually, his redemption arc. The story begins with his early years as a wise and respected teacher, mentoring young ninjas, including his own son, Lloyd. But the corruption of the Dark Lord’s influence and the constant struggle between good and evil within him take center stage. The novel doesn’t just focus on battles; it delves deep into his internal conflicts, relationships, and the moments that define his path.
What really stands out is how the narrative humanizes Garmadon—his regrets, his love for his family, and the weight of his choices. The writing balances action with emotional depth, making it more than just a tie-in to the series. Fans of 'Ninjago' will appreciate the extra layers it adds to his character, especially those moments where he grapples with his darker impulses. It’s a story about second chances, and by the end, you might even find yourself rooting for him despite everything.
