Will the Knights of the Dawn conquer Wyrmroost? Who can stop the Sphinx? Can Vanessa be trusted to help? What artifact will be found next?"
Wow. This series is amazing. I was hooked nearly the whole way through and devoured the rather long book very quickly. This is the fourth in the series. (No previous books reviewed here - I read them before the blog - but they are all fantastic with the same ratings. The first book is Fablehaven
.) I totally didn't see the shocking revelation coming - it was very well done. I sometimes am annoyed by the details Mull includes that seem unnecessary and then make me think they will be important later on, but they aren't. But, really, I just couldn't put it down. And now I have to wait for the last one! As others have said, this is a series for some Harry Potter fans.RATINGS:

It is pretty frightening and there is fighting, but not really graphic.
Overall rating: ****
