Title: Fablehaven - Grip of the Shadow Plague
Author: Brandon Mull
Pages: 496
Genre: Fantasy
Grade: A
Synopsis: This book picks up right where the last book left off. Kendra and Seth are still at Fablehaven and they are suspicious of the Sphinx’s loyalties. Kendra is recruited to be a Knight and heads off on a secret mission to retrieve one of the remaining artifacts. She continues to discover more and more about her special condition. Seth is stuck at home, but notices that many of the creatures at Fablehaven that are good are turning evil and finds that he has a few special abilities of his own as well.
My Review: These books almost seem to be getting better and better. They are full of unexpected twists, new characters and interesting creatures. I am finding Seth to be less annoying in this book than others, but his courage is still admirable. Very exciting and intriguing book and very hard to put down.
From the Book: "(p. 367) Hooves clomping over the whitewashed planks, Doren sprinted along the boardwalk after Rondus, a portly satyr with butterscotch fur and horns that curved away from each other. Puffing hard, Rondus cut through a gazebo and started down the stairs to the field. Only a few steps behind, Doren went airborne and slammed into the heavyset satyr. Together they pitched violently forward into the grass, staining their skin green."
