There were a few problems here and there, but nothing that will distract you from the overall story. Overall, great series! I completely recommend it. Kendra would be the new grandma, following her grandparents footsteps as caretaker of Fablehaven. This would let the reader know exactly how she lived her life and create a full circle to the first Fablehaven book. I would have liked to see the ending to have an old and gray Kendra sitting on the porch of the house on Fablehaven. Brandon Mull obviously set up the ending so that if he decided to return to the series he could. I guess there is a third part that bothered me as well. I just felt that Seth didn’t get his moment explained well enough to justify his hard work. Luckily, the story isn’t entirely finished and there is still a nice fight scene for Kendra. Five books leading to this very moment and two sentences describes it? It was very frustrating. I felt so disappointed that my jaw nearly hit the floor. Yet, Seth kills one of these powerful demons in about two sentences. The reader is told countless times how dangerous the demons are in Zzyzx and how their release would basically mean the end of the world. The whole book, if not series, has been leading to this very moment. I get that it made sense for the story and to be perfectly honest I’m not sure what I would have done instead, but it was just too girly girl for me. However, during the series I felt that Brandon Mull had done such an excellent job in creating a story for a wide audience and for me I just felt this was a little too cutie. Although to some people this could sound cute and maybe even endearing considering that this book markets children both boys and girls. Bracken turns out to be Kendra’s love interest. It isn’t until this book do we understand that the Fairy Queen is actually a unicorn. Okay, so, this guy looks human but is actually a unicorn and the Fairy Queen’s son. There were two things that did bother me in the novel. It’s an exciting adventure and one heck of a ride. These creatures are needed to be killed in order to unlock the demon prison called Zzyzx. Like I said, this book is excellent.ĭuring Keys to the Demon Prison, main characters Kendra and Seth must find and rescue the five Eternals–who are very old and near immortal beings. The characters are original, fresh and have great voice that makes them come alive off the pages.

I enjoyed this book and series immensely. There is plenty of action, humor, excitement, and even a small touch of puppy love romance. Fablehaven: Keys to the Demon Prison is a great conclusion to the five book series.
