I enjoyed The Stonekeeper. It's an interesting story, but it's definitely meant for a younger audience. It's not long enough to keep me engaged as an older reader, but if I had the whole series in front of me, I would read them one after the next. I do plan on reading the rest of the series.
This book addresses the death of a parent and the oldest child's drive to take responsibility in a parental role whether or not it's what's needed. Its an interesting introduction into the healing process and I look forward to seeing how it progresses and how the characters develop through the rest of the series. I've taken a shine to Navin and I think he is going to play a far larger part in the series than the other characters realize. I think his curious nature is going to play a large role in subverting the traditional chosen one trope that Em is currently playing.
