5.0 out of 5 stars 3rd in the Fablehaven series for young readers, April 18, 2008
Picking up where the last novel left off, Kendra and Seth are still at Fablehaven with their grandparents. Suspicions have been cast on the Sphinx and his loyalties. Kendra has been recruited as a Knight, and the family agrees that she should infiltrate with hopes of claiming the next artifact before the Sphinx can get to it. And Fablehaven is under attack by a mysterious darkness that is spreading extremely fast. Can Seth and the rest of his family and friends discover the cause and stop it before all of Fablehaven is lost?

Each installment in the Fablehaven series has been more action-packed and exciting than the next. Grip of the Shadow Plague has a fast-paced plot where danger and intrigue run rampant. New and interesting characters appear. Dark secrets and betrayals are uncovered. And more mysteries unfold.

Kendra and Seth are ordinary children who find themselves in extraordinary circumstances. Fablehaven is full of mystery and wonder that comes alive. Kendra's humility and wisdom is admirable. And Seth's enthusiasm and bravery is inspirational. Fablehaven is easily on par with the Harry Potter series. And if you've been waiting for something to fill the HP loss, look no further.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Harry., May 6, 2008
This book once again proved why I fight with people that the Fablehaven series is indeed superior to Harry Potter. Thank-you, Brandon Mull, for what I think is the most delightful and most creative book so far (because I will most certainly allow him to write something even more exciting.)

What originally began as the sweetness of a little preserve known as Fablehaven has grown into an expanded world of fantasy and secret organizations. Another preserve, brightened with the beautiful desert atmosphere of the Southwest United States, is introduced with just as many wonders as dear Fablehaven. More characters are introduced, which does nothing but make the plot and relationships all the more complex and twisted--awesome. And the characters and places already familiar continue to develop.

And Mull writes it all in stride. True to young adult fantasy, his writing is fairly simple, but tight and descriptive just the same. He is in control of this world, while at the same time seeing in awe of just what he has created. The characters are not flashy stereotypes, but subtle, down-to-earth, and very much believable.

Amazing book and I cannot wait for the next.

5.0 out of 5 stars What more could happen?, May 21, 2008
By M. J. Keel (Somewhere in the Far East) - See all my reviews
The Sorenson kids are only a few weeks from heading home and starting school when a new threat to Fablehaven makes the likelihood of going home anytime soon unlikely. Creatures of light on the preserve begin to turn dark. Along with that Kendra's abilities imparted by the kisses of hundreds of fairies in book one seem to be evolving to such an extend that she could be a target of the Society of the Evening Star if she goes home. As if that is not enough, she is invited to become a Knight of the Dawn, an organization pledged to protect magical preserves. Traveling to meet them, then on a secret mission to another preserve, and the growing threat within Fablehaven fill this volume of the the Fablehaven series with some of the best writing, action, and story-telling of the series so far. Valuable lessons for kids and families are deftly woven into this volume, like the others, without being preachy. The action is even more intense so small kids will not be ready for this, but adolescents and teens will love this one, too. I can't wait to see what happens in volume 4! Brandon Mull is becoming a favorite at our house.
