A review by kaistephan
Neverseen by Shannon Messenger

3.75

The series is finally starting to hit its stride and delve into some concepts that were conspicuously unexamined before. Sure, the Evil School is predictably campy and the characters still spend way too much time pretending they don't know what a crush is, but Messenger is still a master of pacing and plot twists and knows how to up the stakes. A little exasperating that it took four monster books to start questioning how perfect elves actually are, and I wouldn't tell someone who was put off by the first three that it's entirely worth it to get to the rest, but it is pleasant to see the series becoming more self-aware.
