Fablehaven --Tayan

As Guest Review week comes to a close, I have asked my new friend Tayan to finish off the week for us with a review of her favorite book Fablehaven.

                                                          Hi friends!!

I'm Tayan, you may know me from INSPIRED by Tayan! (inspiredbytayan.com)

I am so honored that Abby asked me to guest review on her absolutely amazing blog. Abby, you are such an incredible girl! Thank you for doing what you do, I know I benefit so much from your blog, and I know everyone else does as well!!

Today I thought I would review one of my all time favorite books, Fablehaven by Brandon Mull!

I personally LOVE all of the Fablehaven books, but my review is about the first book in the series.

For centuries, mystical creatures of all description were gathered to a hidden refuge called Fablehaven to prevent their extinction. The sanctuary survives today as one of the last strongholds of true magic in a cynical world.  Enchanting?  Absolutely! Exciting? You bet.  Safe?  Well, actually, quite the opposite . . .

Kendra and her brother Seth have no idea that their grandfather is the current caretaker of Fablehaven.  Inside the gated woods, ancient laws give relative order among greedy trolls, mischevious satyrs, plotting witches, spiteful imps, and jealous fairies.  However, when the rules get broken, an arcane evil is unleashed, forcing Kendra and Seth to face the greatest challenge of their lives.  To save her family, Fablehaven, and perhaps the world, Kendra must find the courage to do what she fears most.

I love Fablehaven so much. It is action packed, well written, excited, and it's one of those "on the edge of your seat" books. (Who doesn't love those?!)

Something I think that is really awesome in this book, it's one of the main reasons I love it so much, is the love between family. Fablehaven makes it very clear that family comes first. The characters in this book are all very close and they depend on and trust each other. I think that that has been lost in a lot of recent books. (Hunger Games , Divergent, etc.) Recent popular books seem to teach youth that they don't need anyone and should be 100% independent. They teach youth not to trust or love anyone and to only rely on ourselves. That makes me so sad because it's not true at all! Books should teach us to love unconditionally and keep what matters most our number one priority. That's something I really love about the Fablehaven books and something I think Brandon Mull does an excellent job with.

All 5 Fablehaven books are 100% clean. There is some violence but it is minimal and still totally clean. These books teach good values and are so fun, I'd recommend them to anyone.

Rate: PG

Nitty Gritty:

Like I said, Fablehaven is totally clean. It is a fun book for any age! The violence is clean and simply adds action to the book.

Thank you all SO much for reading! And thanks to Abby again for letting me guest review for you all!

Please check out my blog if you don't read it all ready!
