I liked the first one a lot. I have yet to read the second. I'll let you know when I do. My library here has a very small selection of new books

Is it wrong of me to ask if they left it open for another installment?

Hahahahaha! Yeah they did! Some one goes... uh never mind. Just know that there is no way that he can not write a sequel. I can't wait!!!! It will probably
be a while until we see the next one, but I hope he can get the chance to really develop the story. It was soooo good!!! Just know, we will see more of the
Kingdom Keepers!

Jess, I'm really bogging down in this one. Which is painful to say, b/c it's a kids book and I'm not a kid. Is it really worth finishing? or is it
like the Peter Pan books that he's written with Dave Barry, where they're taking way WAY too many words to make the point?
I mean, I loved the first one, and if you really want to discuss this one, I'll finish it. But I've read dissertations that had a quicker payoff than this book seems to have. You promise it's worth finishing? ~robin

Ok, here's the deal. The events in the book take place in just one day, so you think it's never going to end, but the ending, in my opinion will blow
your mind away. You're going to want a sequel after this book. I feel like it's worth reading. Besides, it has a few words per page, and it won't
take you that long to read it. I loved it! See what you think...

It does have some slow portions in the middle but the ending is very nice. Makes you sit up and take notice!

I finished it a few days ago. I have to agree about it being slow in parts, or the pacing feeling like it's dragging at times. I thought it was more well
written than the first, though. I thought Kingdom Keepers had a neat concept, but awkward writing and poor character development. This time around, the kids
actually had distinct personalities! Willa is my favorite by far. I was happy Charlene didn't do so much whining this time, too. I'd love to read a
third one. It was definitely leaving an opening for a sequel.
Is Finn Whitman gonna hafta choke a witch? (Why this wasn't said in the book, I have no idea.)
