This wonderful action-packed fiction book (Fablehaven Keys to the Demon Prison by Brandon Mull) is very exciting. The book is the final book in the Fablehaven series. Kendra and Seth Sorenson (the main characters) have once again gone to their grandparents house (Fablehaven) for the summer. Every summer for the past 5 years they have gone to Fablehaven. They had always hated going there before they realized that their grandparents property was enchanted. Through powerful milk from a magic cow they can see things that they couldn't with the human eye. They can see fairies, centaurs, saytrs, nymphs, demons, and many other mystical creatures. Each of the seven sanctuaries around the world contains an artifact that is nearly impossible to get to. You have to go through these trials and defeat deadly dragons, horrifying demons, terrible lions, ferocious tigers, and many more things to recieve the beloved artifact.
The artifacts can do many amazing things. For example one is pretty much sand in an hourglass that can make you (once poured) stay the same age/be immortal forever. There are seven artifacts total. All of them combined make the key to open the horrible demon prison which holds the worlds most powerful demon ever, Zzyxx. With him you would easily take over the whole world. The Sphinx (the bad guy) wants to open dreaded Demon Prison so he can take over the world. So what does he have to do? He has to collect all seven artifacts to open the prison and conquer the world. Thats why he's the bad guy. Kendra, Seth, and their grandparents will not let him take over the world without a fight. In the last book the Sphinx decided to kidnap Kendra and Seth's parents so that he could trade the parents for artifacts. But giving him the artifact makes him that much closer to conquering the world.
So in this book the Sphinx has five of the seven artifacts and the Sorensons have the other two. Seth (while trying to retrieve one of the lost artifacts) was kidnapped by the Sphinx and his team of people who went out to get the same artifact that they were going for. The Sorensons sent out a rescue team to retrieve Seth and his parents. They failed and are now in huge trouble and desperately need some sort of miracle so the Sphinx will not rule the world. Luckily Seth with the help of a unicorn cell mate escapes and steals the artifact that makes you teleport and the one that heals you/ immortalizes you. He finds his way back to Fablehaven and uses the healing artifact to help heal his demon friend Graulas (who was very sick). He had trusted Graulas but Graulas betrayed him and killed one of his friends. Seth is desperate and needs help. While Seth was escaping, Kendra was imprisoned. Kendra still didn't know if Seth was alive or not. She hadn't seen him since they sent out to retrieve the artifact at Obsidian Waste. Anyway Kendra meets the unicorn named Bracken (the same one that Seth met) and figures out Seth has escaped and is still alive. Bracken has not been outside of the prison for over a life time and can't wait until they escape. So he set up a plan to escape. They escape almost the same way Seth did, and found Seth. Even with Seth and Kendra out of the prison, the Sphinx is almost set to unleash the Zzyxx. Almost all hope is lost. The world is coming to an end. The time has come for Kendra and Seth to save the world...
I really just love how the author wrote this. The suspense after almost every chapter was almost too hard to bare. I stayed up a couple nights until almost 12:00 a.m. reading this book! I couldn't have wrote the book better myself. Except for maybe the ending but I can't tell you much about that because it would give the end of the book away. I really wish that his parents wouldn't have been taken away in the first place because they didn't have a clue about the whole "Fablehaven" thing in the first place. It didn't really make sense and didn't have much to do with the book in the first place. Brandon Mull makes it feel like you are really there. He also makes you relate with the characters feelings and actions. He has done that throughout the series. Also most books that talk about saving the world are kind of cheesy and unrealistic. Sorry but that doesn't happen in this book. It seems like it could be real. I really am not just saying that to make the book look better than the rest because it really isn't cheesy. I don't think any of you would know of a book where the parents were kidnapped.
I loved this book and really suggest you all read the Fablehaven series including this book. By the way you probably want to read the first four books before this one or it will not make sense at all! I think this is really one of the best books I have ever read. A
