The Gorgon's Fury by Brandon Mull

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

The Gorgon’s Fury by Brandon Mull takes readers on a fun and humorous adventure with Newel and Doren, two satyrs who are grappling with the thought of growing up. After their role in the dragon rebellion, the two are facing a crisis of maturity, and their reluctance to leave their childhood behind becomes a central theme. When several Fablehaven inhabitants, including fellow satyrs, are turned to stone, Newel and Doren set off to investigate, suspecting the work of a gorgon.

Their journey leads them to the Florida swamplands, where they search for a legendary Listening Doll, said to hold the key to curing magical ailments—possibly even reversing the process of aging. Along the way, they also gear up for the Satyr Games, hoping to defend their title as champions, while also being drawn to the lure of acquiring a smartphone. The quest is packed with the usual adventure, magical creatures, and plenty of humor.

What stands out most in The Gorgon’s Fury is Mull’s ability to blend quirky, lighthearted moments with the excitement of magical exploration. The dynamic between Newel and Doren is as fun as ever, and their antics provide comic relief throughout the story. However, while the adventure and humor are solid, the emotional depth feels somewhat lacking, especially in terms of character development. The focus remains on the action and the laughs, which may not resonate as strongly for readers seeking a deeper narrative.

Overall, The Gorgon’s Fury is an entertaining, action-packed installment for fans of the Fablehaven series. It’s a delightful adventure that offers plenty of magic and humor but doesn’t dive too deep into emotional growth. Still, it’s a fun read for younger audiences and anyone looking for a light, magical escape.

The Heartless City

The Heartless City By: Andrea Berthot I love this book, (I did an all nighter to finish it.) . The Heartless City (great title and cover) is one of the best tales of the story Jekyll & Hyde I have ever read. The characters are relatable, the writing is fantastic, its filled with love, horror, drama, and betrayal. I feel sad when I read parts with Cam but I guess that means I feel like i could actually meet these characters. The only thing that I think could change is that they should have brought in Iris's dad ( who I can't reveal) into the book at the end. To sum it up: It starts in London with Henry Jekyll who was a brilliant doctor, a passionate idealist who aimed to free mankind of selfishness and vice. He’s also the man who carelessly created a race of monsters. Once shared secretly amon...

This is a really amazing site. How to actually find a book though is a bit more challenging.

Then in the search box you'll want to type the author or title of the book you are looking for. Make sure you type in the exact title or author, cause if you don't you won't be able to find what your looking for. Such as if the title your looking for has a"comma "or a capital Letter.
