By the end I was in the Grip of the Shadow Plague

If you have read any of my other blogs you know I have gotten into a series called Fablehaven. I really enjoyed the first book and the second book was fun to read too so I was eager to read book 3. I bought it soon after it came out and started reading it right away. Again it started off where the last book left off and it was slow going. First of all it was a much longer book compared to the previous two and the author had to spend time setting up for the events of the story.

Last night I finally got to the point of the book where I couldn't put it down. I eventually had to go to sleep, but I quickly finished the book this afternoon. I really enjoyed the events in the second half of the book and the ending has made me look forward to the next installment. My favorite things about this particular book were the new characters introduced and the return of past characters as well as the fact that I still felt like the events were not far above and beyond belief.
