OMG, I really hope that there will be more books in this series and that The Final Trial does not mean the final book.
This is a fantastic series for young readers and the young at heart. It has adventure, magnificent monsters, friendship, and intrigue. Rowan is caring and determined to understand the monsters she is supposed to be slaying, instead of kill first ask questions later.
When I worked at a bookstore it was one of my first recommendations in the 9-12 yrs section. I would always follow that recommendation with the fact that young readers can grow with Kelley as she writes novels in teen and adult (fiction, fantasy, and mystery).
