Fablehaven | Brandon Mull

Rating: ★★★★★
I started reading the Fablehaven series a bit over a year ago, and recently finished it. I have to say, I was sad to see it go. I loved the stories and the characters – never a dull moment, and rarely a calm one! But I was also glad that the stories weren’t going to drag on so long that they started to lose their shine. I eagerly await reading his next works.

Any fantasy fan should love Fablehaven. Secret preserves, magical creatures, good versus evil. Kendra and Seth have no idea, when they first go to visit their Grandparents Sorenson, just what they’re in for. A magical preserve and a grandmother who’s been turned into a chicken are certainly the last thing they ever would have expected. And that was the calmest of their adventures.

Throughout the series, different forces seek to bring Fablehaven to an end, and every time the family has to find a way to persevere, all the while battling the true forces of evil, the Society of the Evening Star, as they seek secret artifacts in hopes of unlocking the demon prison.
