FABLEHAVEN Rise of the Evening Star November 12, 2008
This is a wonderful and exciting book for all ages. I found it so hard to put down. I couldn't wait to turn the next page. I have read all available Fablehaven books and decided to purchase them for my children.
If you like Harry you must read Fablehaven- Book 2 is just as good or better then 1 October 27, 2008
In book two, you don't have the slow beginning, the hill to the top of this roller coaster is short, but just as fast and full of thrills. I could not put this one down. Twists and turns were hinted at but it made you wonder right along side of Kendra and Seth. Descriptions were detailed enough to fire the imagination, but not so long that you wanted to skip 3 paragraphs. Your could feel the fear, the cold, the magic. Great Job Mr Mull!
I admit it! I love the Harry Potter books, but felt a bit silly reading something so much below my age level. But Brandon Mull's Fablehaven is just as exciting but isn't vocabulary deficient. Harry Potter is considered a 5-7 grade level book where Fablehaven is 7-9. It won't make you keep a dictionary at your side all the time, but will make you notice a new word not Harry Potter books. And it still does not have the unnecessary bone-breaking detail or sexual content.
I can't wait to read this to my kids.
Consistent, strong mythology August 18, 2008
Want another mythology you can enjoy? Try Branson Mull's work in Fable Haven. Book 1 setup up the mythology; book 2 builds skillfully on that foundation. Turns, twists, possible betrayels...good stuff.
 A great light read! July 1, 2008
I bought this book when i was working for border's as another light read, and although i liked the firat in the series better, I still fell in love with it. It was exciting and detailed and well written. Finally Seth does something stupid with good intentions instead of selfish ones. We get to meet the brownies. And we also get to see more of dale and his brother clearing up alot of unanswered questions about dale and his bleak outlook we've seen before. Oh, and we get to see my favorite puppet again, yes i am a mendigo freak (for those of you who havent read the first book, mendigo is a limberjack, google it if you want more info). I had wierd and funny dreams three nights in a row after reading this and it all togeather gave me a warm fuzzy satisfied feeling throughout and after.
End Strange unorganized rant...
Book two of the Fablehaven series! June 28, 2008
As a result of being touched by fairy magic, Kendra is now the center of attention from the Society of the Evening Star. After trying to kidnap her and Seth, they escape back to Fablehaven, where they must try and secure one of the five keys to a prison holding an ancient demon - before the Society of the Evening Star does! On the way they have to defeat a demon intent on devouring Seth and figure out who the traitor is bent on stealing the key!
If you get this book, get #3 as well - Grip of the Shadow Plague. You won't be able to stop reading until both are done!
