Summary: Picking
up where the last novel left off, Kendra and Seth are still at
Fablehaven with their grandparents. Suspicions have been cast on the
Sphinx and his loyalties. Kendra has been recruited as a Knight, and the
family agrees that she should infiltrate with hopes of claiming the
next artifact before the Sphinx can get to it. And Fablehaven is under
attack by a mysterious darkness that is spreading extremely fast. Can
Seth and the rest of his family and friends discover the cause and stop
it before all of Fablehaven is lost?
Review: Arguably
the darkest book of the series, Grip of the Shadow Plague sure gripped
my attention. ;-) I enjoyed this addition to the story of Seth and
Kendra Sorenson more than the last two. I agree that the plot was
probably the best part of book, subtly hinting at what is to come in
future books. I absolutely loved the introduction of the Centaurs as
they are exactly portrayed as in my imagination. The writing is as solid
as ever and Brandon Mull's top-notch imagination supports his endearing
originality. Excellent. ;-)
