Another fun Fablehaven adventure! This one noticeably includes darker themes right from the start - a friend mentioned that sometimes books "age up" to follow their audience as the series continues, and I think this does that. Even so, it has a lot of the core elements of adventure, character growth, and fun. I struggle to keep up with the pace of so much happening, and it does feel sometimes like there are details that matter less than others due to how much happens within the span of a short time. It's been a pretty fun ride, though, and there are definitely parts of this book that surprised me as an adult! I look forward to the next book to finish the series.
