The girl recommended this one. I disagree with her regarding its worth. I thought that the characters were okay, albeit a little predictable, but the story line itself was ridiculous. It's okay to expect your readers to suspend their disbelief and all that, but honestly, the characters' actions and reactions are just completely, off-the-charts preposterous. And I read a lot of YA lit, so I don't think I'm asking for much. ( )

It was okay. I'm just to old to really enjoy it. I got to stay out of the children's area. That cover peeked my interest. ( )

A fast-paced, middle-grade dark fantasy. The two main characters (Kendra & Seth) are fleshed out, with distinct personalities. For the most part they act within their established character, with one or two out of character moments.

I liked that the kids had a personality. Sometimes with middle grade books the main character is bland so that the reader can insert themselves into the story.

The world of Fablehaven is interesting. This book leaves a lot more to discover within the world and plants seeds for an overarching plot in the next books, though it ends satisfactorily enough as a stand alone if you're not quite as thrilled with it as I am! ( )
