Keys to the Demon Prison (5) (Fablehaven)

We discovered these books when we got the first book for our third son, who was then turning thirteen. Two years later, Mom, Dad and sons ages 13, 15 and 18 are all hooked. These books provide really good fantasy entertainment and excellent writing.I wouldn't recommend them for kids under 11 or so, depending on what they are accustomed to reading, because the books can be pretty frightening, and they deal with very serious subjects, such as death, loss, and betrayal. The stories are very well woven, and there are plenty of plot twists to keep you guessing. The characters definitely come to life, and more then once, I wanted to send Seth to his room for a week or two. Read the books, and you'll know just what I mean. I'm sorry to see the series come to an end, but looking forward to seeing what's next.Brandon Mull is a nice person as well as being one of my favorite authors now; three of my sons and I drove over 200 miles in 2009 to have a few of the books signed, and he was very nice, and still keeps in contact with my son Nick, who is his biggest fan.

Amazing story telling and well thought out plot line. A perfect end to a perfect series and if you haven't read Dragonwatch yet you need to

We have enjoyed all the books of this series. Some parts of the Fablehaven books, and this book in particular, are blatantly moralistic. A little too blatant for an adult book, but very appropriate for a children's book. I really liked that for the most part because it is a springboard for meaningful conversations with my kids.As for book 5. It is fast paced and engaging. For the past three days my 11 year old daughter has read it every recess and then every spare minute we've had we have sat side by side both reading from our places in the book. I am reading it to my 8 year old son, but it will be another week before the two of us finish. It is a relief to have a book that I not only have NO hesitation recommending for my kids, but one that I WANT them to read because of the good lessons in it AND for its great entertainment value.I think Brandon Mull did a great job leading up to an unexpected conclusion of events for the most part. Aside from two little "tidy" parts near the end (which I don't list for "spoiler reasons") I think everything was done very very well. I even like the loose ends as they lead to great imaginative adventures if you want to continue the story on your own.Bravo!We have enjoyed all of Brandon Mull's books (Pingo included) and look forward to more!

This is my 5th time through the series, and I still love it as much as the first. Now on to Dragon Watch for my second read through. Thank you Brandon Mull for being such an amazing author.

I read Fablehaven aloud to my kids (6-14) and they love it. They clamor for me to read every night and hurry to get ready for bed in the hopes if getting more chapters. The characters continue to be terrific, and Mull doesn't disappoint with surprising twists. Keys to the Demon Prison is particularly action-packed and it's one exciting ride. I definitely recommend this series to anyone young or young at heart. I read them all myself before I read them to my kids because I just can't stop after my kids go to sleep, so I get ahead and finish within a few days. Also check out the Dragonwatch series, which is a sequel to the Fablehaven series!

Lots of surprising turn of events in this final book of Fablehaven by Brandon Mull. It was a great ending and unpredictable as the other books were.This series is great for the whole family and the reader is very entertaining to listen to.

Just read it, it won’t disappoint. Every detail well thought of, every story is just perfect, perfect dosages, JUST WONDERFUL.

It is not often I give a book a 5/5 stars but this book deserves it. I'm sure most of you have already read the other four fablehaven stories so you all have unanswered questions about the characters and story developement. The 5th book, Keys to the Demon Prison, answers all of your questions and more. It ends rather well and doesn't leave you hanging or wishing for more. It is one of those rare books that is so well written you can concede to the fact the series is over and you are happy.The plot varies a bit from the other books as Kendra and Seth go on completely seperate adventures for the entire story (until the very last 50 pages or so). Seth grows a bit more mature, Kendra move Fierce, and the satyrs get to drive a truck and be more involved!I cannot say much more then this in the review because I don't want to spoil anything for anyone. Some of these reviews should be avoided until you have read it all!!! Anyway, this book is great. I'd imagine this is my favorite book followed closely by book number three, the shadow plague. This book is in Hardcover, has beautiful cover art, and is thicker than the others so you have a bit more reading to do. Happy Fable Reading :)
