| The more of these books I read, the more I wish they were a little more creative. Each one pretty much follows the same story arch, which is rather predictable. However, I could see them being very popular with young readers, especially those who are a bit reluctant about reading in general. The similarities between this series andEmily Rodda‘s Deltora Quest series grows with each book, but I find these much more straightforward and slightly repetitive. I am blown away by the fact there are over 80 books in the larger series, but again, I guess I can see young readers really binging on these. The adventure and plot in this book were still interesting, but after the first two books, this one is pretty predictable. Quick, simple read that is entertaining, albeit very similar to the first two books in the series. I found books 1-4 in the clearance bin so I will read the next book, but so far I’m not enthralled with the series enough to continue passed that. Goodreads |
