Beyond the Valley of Thorns by Patrick Carman

adventurous

3.5

As an adult rereading a book I read as a child, I’m constantly surprised that a 13-year-old is going on this dangerous adventure. I don’t remember questioning Alexa’s age when I read it the first time and I probably dreamed of going on adventures like her. Now that I’m basically double her age, I’m shocked that an old man would send a child on a quest that could get her killed.
This is the second book in the series and it ended on a cliffhanger, leaving me with questions unanswered, unlike the first book that ended cleanly. Definitely leaves me needing to read the next book!
