Death Weavers by Brandon Mull (Five Kingdoms Series #4)

Finished: July 12, 2016
Overall Rating: 3 stars

I want to preface this by saying that I love Brandon Mull! The first book I ever read by him was Fablehaven and I couldn't put it down. I loved the whole series and now I'll read just about anything he writes. I enjoyed the Beyonders series and so far I'v enjoyed this series. I will say that the other two series haven't been quite as good as Fablehaven. With Fablehaven, I was up all night reading and I couldn't wait for the next book to come out. And while I enjoys this series, I don't feel the same pull to read it as I did with Fablehaven.

The book was enjoyable but partway through the series new characters were introduced, and two of them were Ferrin and Drake, some of the main characters from the Beyonder series! I was so excited to see characters from other books being brought in! And what's more, the world building leaves room for introducing other fun characters along the way.

Compare to the other books, this book was a lot more running around than actually fighting (which makes sense considering how the echolands work) and there were some new concepts introduced. It didn't have me on the edge of the seat like some of the other Brandon Mull books I've read but it was still a good read and I look forward to the next book (especially now that Cole finally has his powers!)
