A review by bassmanvoh
The Merchant of Death by D.J. MacHale

3.0

I surprisingly enjoyed this YA fantasy story. I wish it were a bit darker, as the world in which this story takes place alluded to a much deeper history that potentially included darker themes and concepts. I have no plans to read the following novel in this series anytime soon, but I hope that as the teen character ages, so does the writing, as this story was borderline on what I could handle as a YA novel.
