A couple of days ago I told you about a book for young adults that wasn't all that great. Today we have the exact opposite case: a novel for young readers that I thought was fantastic.
Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star is the second book in the Fablehaven trilogy by Brandon Mull, and even though I liked the first one a lot, this one puts it to shame. Kendra and Seth are back in Fablehaven in a darker adventure that is full of danger, enemies, and near-death situations. And in the middle of it all, the mysterious Society of the Evening Star steps out from the shadows to try and find a magical artifact that will help them free some powerful demons.
When I put it like that, it sounds like the book has nothing new to offer to the fantasy genre, and that this mixture of modern-world reality, teenagers, and magic was already seen in Harry Potter and a dozen other knock-offs. However, this is far from the truth, and Fablehaven is immensely entertaining and ridiculously enjoyable, so whether or not you are impressed, I am going to rush to Barnes & Noble to buy the third volume!

Si algun dia lo traducen buscare la saga, aunque ultimamente solo traducen cosas de vampiros tontos.
Y tías estúpidas, hahaha.
Anoche empecé el tercer volumen de la serie :)
Parece interesante, sí.
Otra buena excusa para empezar a leer en inglés, Nash. ;)
Eso, eso, Nash!
Llevo ya algo más de la mitad del tercer libro leída, y me encanta!
