The writing is still quite stilted and dialogue seems forced in places.
Plot/Concept is interesting enough to keep me going, though I wonder if Elyon is like Aslan.

Takže, co k tomu říct, dávám 4 z 5, ale to především kvůli tomu konci a relativní promyšlenosti toho, jak se mají postavy dát dohromady a začít bojovat. Knížka skončila cliffhangerem, takže jsem docela I naladěna na další díl, ale jinak bych druhý díl této série hodnotila jako slabší. Uvidíme, co se bude dít dál.

Second entry in the trilogy which like all good trilogies contains five books is another fair of forgettable fantasy reads, it has some good moments but they are fairly spaced out between some pretty ordinary stuff as well.

I loved the first one, but this was a disappointing sequel that only served to stage book 3.

Not sure what page I'm on..... Anyways, this is a really good book so far!

I read this book right after the first one, and I loved it. I read this when I was in elementary school, but I can still say to this day that this is one of my childhood favorites!

I always feel so betrayed when a children's fantasy series turns out to be Christian fiction. The allegory was mild in the first one, but gets stronger here. I don't know if I'll finish the series or not. Just like Narnia, I don't know how much of it I can stand.

Beyond the Valley of Thorns was fun to read because I liked the first book, knew some of the characters, and got to read more about Elyon. Some parts of the first book made more sense, while some didn't seem to really belong anymore, but it was fun.
