Before I start, I need to mention that I forgot to mention a book that I had read, that being Sea of Monsters, the sequel to The Lightning Thief. I feel bad about forgetting it, and it has been added to the list after Howl's Moving Castle, and it will make this post add three books to the list.
Sea of Monsters
The Sequel to the lightning Thief, in this book we find Percy Jackson trying to survive a normal school (normal for him being what he is [a demigod]). It doesn't go well as it is attacked by monsters and Percy must get to the safety of Half-blood hill, where he discovers something awful that will affect the rest of the book and his quest.
I've already said that I love reading about mythology, and so I loved this book. It was a good follow up to the first one and made the situation regarding Percy's birth a little more ominous by the end. I also need to get a hold of the next three books somehow.
The Wheel of Time Book 2: The Great Hunt
These are huge books! The Wheel of Time is a classic series that is still going on, written by Robert Jordan and now Brandon Sanderson. The plot is so very very complicated to try and explain, especially starting at the second book, so I won't really try, I'll just say that yes, there is a dragon in this book (though a very different type of dragon).
These books take a long time for me to read. They are good books and enjoyable, but it seems that I have little interest to keep picking them up until about the second half when I find that I can't put them down. That's about 300 pages of dragging my feet to get to the good parts (and the good parts are really good parts, I must say) which is one reason I started reading 6 books at once, so that I would have something to motivate me through the first half of the book. I'm not trying to say that the first half of the books are terribly boring, a lot happens in them, they just didn't do it for me.
Fablehaven: Grip of the Shadow Plague
Yay Fablehaven! I'm really liking these books. And the best part? This one had dragons! Yay!
Okay, so this is the third book, and it takes place almost right after the second one. The ending of the second was filled with a startling discovery, and we spend a good deal of the third book investigating that discovery as it will shape the future of the Fablehaven books. We learn more about Kendra and her still pretty new abilities, and Seth becomes a much more important character.
Something awful is happening in Fablehaven (as hinted in the title), something far worse than ever before, that could destroy Fablehaven forever. But first, we'll take a side trip to another preserve that has a dragon on it! Sweet!
I'm thinking you should all read this book!
