The first book was pretty good. The second book was a bit on the boring side but this one took the cake. I literally found myself skimming through a huge portion of the book because it just went on, and on, and on. I understand wanting to set the stage with descriptions but Good Golly Miss Molly you don't have to describe every little detail of everything that's going on! As an adult reading this book and finding a lot of the parts boring and uninteresting I can not fathom a child reading it and finding it captivating.Once again Kendra proved to be a very annoying character. I got tired of reading about how special she is, how since she's "fairykind" she has these super fairy powers that makes her awesome and better than anyone out there.Seth for the most part I have to admit was a little bit less annoying and dare I say he was acting a bit responsible and grown up? And for once he wasn't the one who caused all the trouble at Fablehaven which was surprising.There were a few things I didn't quite get, mainly why Patton came back. I could not see any reason what so ever to even have him in the book. He brought zero value to the events that transpired, except to tell the sad story about the shadow lady and how his uncle died.I also didn't understand the role of Gavin except that he was written in to be the love interest for Kendra. I get that he had a stutter but I found r-r-r-reading h-h-h-h-how he s-s-s-s-tutters to be quite annoying. The author could have easily got that point across without actually typing it, like saying that he had a slight stutter that came out when he was nervous.Now for the plague. THE PLAGUE!!!!!!! Yeah, um, that was interesting. I honestly don't get how the whole thing happened.
