Mull does not disappoint in this continuation of the Dragonwatch series. The fun adventurous journey continues as Seth tries to find his memories and Kendra and friends try to save the magical world.
Mull is such a mastermind at weaving all of the books together as well as the overall storyline. Throughout this book we are following the two separate groups and I loved going back and forth as the path slowly crossed. It was full of surprises and took it in directions I was not expecting. I loved getting to continue to learn more about this world Mull has been building since Fablehaven. It is so magical, a little dangerous and done in such great details. I felt like I was there while reading the book. It is amazing how creative Mull is and all the fun elements he includes.

Loved this piece of the Dragonwatch series. I start to be wary when stories seem so comicated and multifaceted, but Brandon Mull is truly terrific and pulling it together. As the story ended I was questioning how he would pull into another book, and as always he is piquing my interest and giving me plenty of reason to be excited about the last book in this series.

To enter the world of Brandon Mull's Fablehaven is to enter a safe reflection of our own. There are world-ending problems and identity-shattering revelations, yes, but at the end of the day there is good and there is evil. It's straightforward, even if it isn't easy. Some creatures are pure and beautiful, some are unclean and repugnant. The stewards of the magical world must carry the weight of responsible governance, while the magical creatures themselves become childishly unhappy and think to rebel. If new characters are introduced before a dangerous mission, they will probably die. The world is filled to the brim with physics-defying spaces, mind-altering substances, and mechanical oddities. A hodgepodge of myth, literature, and comic book sensibilities grounds the characters, the objects, and the naming conventions. Everyone knows their place, and, no matter what is happening, everyone, everyone is (eventually) articulate and reasonable. Good (reasonable, bureaucratic) will, linearly and inexorably, if not permanently, triumph over evil (chaotic, expansive). My brother and I have been fans since we were children. See you all for book five.
