Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star

Rise of the Evening Star was exponentially better than the first Fablehaven book. In this story, Kendra and Seth once again have to help their grandparents at Fablehaven, a magical creatures nature preserve. They have to find and remove an ancient artifact to a new preserve because the Evening Star organization has compromised Fablehaven.

That is such a better storyline than the first one. Basically, the first book was Fablehaven is a magical creature preserve, isn’t that cool. The first one provides a ton of information needed to understand this second book. However, the second book is better than the first.

I would say this book is for all ages. However, I gave it a B in the romance section because, in the beginning, there is a brief storyline that involves dating and kissing. It is played mainly for laughs and is not detailed at all, but it is still there.

The rest of the book is a delight to read. There were mysteries I didn’t figure out and new characters that add more flavor to the cast. I highly recommend reading this book. However, you should read the first one before you read this one.

If you want to, you can buy it here.

Check out my review of the first book here.

Here is a spoiler-filled review if you would prefer that.

    So I started this series because my niece and nephew suggested it. After the first book, I was wondering if this was a series I really wanted to finish.

    Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry

      I swear Lois Lowry is going to kill me with these cliffhangers. Gathering Blue has an even worse cliffhanger than The Giver did. If this series needed more books written, I’d go insane waiting. I mean, I’ve read books that clarify there is more to come before, but never like this. These books seem…

    Percy Jackson and the Titan’s Curse

    Disclaimer: In Percy Jackson and the Titan’s Curse, they use the term “gods” as a swear word. However, since they specifically refer to the Greek gods, I did not feel it fell under the category of a swear word for my grading system. Book three of Percy Jackson, YAY! Let me tell you, I liked…

    Messenger by Lois Lowry

      Lois Lowry is killing me with these open endings! Don’t get me wrong I have enjoyed every book in this series so far, but they all feel like they end in the middle of the story, not the end. It’s incredibly frustrating and Messenger follows that same pattern. I never realized how much I…
