Keys to the Demon Prison by Brandon Mull

brendalovesbooks's review against another edition

This was a pretty good ending to the Fablehaven series. I had a hard time remembering what all had happened in previous books, but I still felt okay, and not lost or anything.

There were some great new characters in this one, and then all of the other characters we know and love from the previous books. And still there are those that I'd like to smack upside the head because they are so dang stupid. In fact, there was a lot of stupidity in this one, even by characters who should have known better.

Also, I think sometimes authors try to throw in romance where it's really not necessary, especially in an action-packed book like this. In fact, at times there was a little bit too much going on. It was like the author wanted to fit 100 different things in this book, and so a lot of the characters and events didn't get the attention I think they deserved.

Still, this was a good book, and a really fun series that I would recommend to middle grade and YA readers.

Only thing that really throws me off about this book? The other 4 are all one, maybe two adventures. Then, all of a sudden, Demon Prison say hey! Here's 28 all in one!

My favorite book of the series, just for the satisfaction of seeing the pieces that the author had been setting up for so long finally come together. If you’ve made it this far you can’t just stop here.

Age range: 10+
Younger readers may find it a little scary. Older readers may find the tone a little juvenile.

Now THIS is how you finish a series. Bitches aren’t doing it like this anymore.

Pretty standard adventure novel, but lacking in characterization of the main characters. While I enjoyed Kenda and Seth in this novel, they didn't feel like Kenda and Seth. They felt more like Brandon Mull expressing adventure fare through their mouths, instead of the fully fleshed out characters we've come to love.

Love Bracken though. Kenda deserves a good man after everything she's been through. And he comes with recommendations!
