Interesting read. Really liked the characters and the murder mystery and twists. It was a little long for a MG, but I liked Christopher's story and the love he had for his Master. I'll read the next one. :)
An impulse check out at the local library, The Blackthorn Key was a well-plotted, adventure story for the YA crowd.
Here are some great elements to this book:
• Smart heroes and villains thinking two or three steps ahead.
• Using science (in a magic potions kind of way) to solve problems.
• Finding family and honor in unlikely places.
• Interesting historical fiction for YA readers
• A hidden underground lab with a door that requires working knowledge of the elements.
• Though it is sure to be a series, this one can stand alone. No cliffhanger ending. Thank you Kevin Sands.
This one was a welcome surprise.

Suffered from a lot of YA weaknesses, namely the limited emotional development. But generally appealed to the part of me that loved National Treasure, and this was a satisfying page-turner.
