REVIEW
Kendra and Seth have their work cut out for them as they face a dragon population out to take control of all the magical preserves. So far they've managed to hang on to Wyrmroost, but with hostilities breaking out and various creatures taking sides, things are more dangerous than ever. And the only way to stop Celebrant seems to be entering a cursed castle to attempt to claim a powerful magical talisman. But the contest pits them against numerous opponents not the least of which is Celebrant himself. Can they find a way to accomplish their goals without magic on their side?
Brandon Mull has once again written an a compelling tale of magic and mayhem. Kendra and Seth and their allies are great characters that one can't help but cheer for as they face incredible odds. The dragons make for a dangerous enemy that carries the story forward in intriguing ways. Interesting twists and turns keep the story moving forward at a break neck pace as the siblings try to avoid their own and the world's destruction. Fans of the Fablehaven series who enjoy fast-paced magical adventures full of interesting powers, a variety of magical creatures, and interesting twists and turns are bound to enjoy this follow-up series.
