FableHaven Ending

FableHaven:Rise of the Evening Star
By:Brandon Mull
11/20/14
Pages:0-600
Prompt: Do you like what you’re reading? Why or why not?

I like what I read what I read this week is the second best book I have read this year. I would rate this book second because it has all of the main genres I like. It has action, adventure, mystery, and suspense. Action and adventure are a main part in this book they aren't manly used in a certain part though. Action and Adventure follow one of the main characters Seth. They follow him in the end when he escapes a Demon that had Swallowed him whole ,but some how he survived. Throughout the book though it followed him especially when he got tricked by people to do many things that he would later find out where bad. These characters to advantage of Seth because he had so much courage and the many things that the characters would ant to get where unreachable to them. This is just one of the genres.

The next genre that was in the book, that made this book be one of the best I have read is mystery. Mystery doesn't follow seth that much because he always knows what is going on. Mystery follows Kendra, it falls Kendra because in the last book she got kissed by many fairies. Since they kissed Kendra they shared a bit of there power with her. After that Kendra has been trying to figure out why she can do so many things. She is also trying to kind out what other things she can do.

The last genre this book fits into that makes it a really good books is Suspense. Suspense is a big part in this though I have to say sometimes they made it way to long. In this parts it made you less eager to find out then how you where in the beginning. In this book near the end they used it when Seth and Kendra where both figuring out there problems. They would devele
p the suspense when they would get closer and closer.

Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star

Title: Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star
Author: Brandon Mull
Pages:200-250
Week: 11/10/14
Prompt: 2- Analyze how dialogue or specific incidents reveal information about characters. Make sure to include textual evidence

* Tanu *
This week I did not read a lot but in those few pages I got a bunch of information. We got introduced to some new and very important characters. In fact we got introduced to 4 new characters in 50 pages! These new characters include Vanessa (a collector of magical animals), Tanu (a potion maker), and Coulter (a collector of magical artifacts). The fourth one is one of the most important person in all of the magical preserves The Sphinx. The Sphinx is a magical creature that can live for a long time and has used his knowledge to help all the magical preserves and to stop the Society of the Evening Star. In these pages we learned who he was and how he helped Seth and Kendra our main character. He helped Kendra find out that she was Fairykind and has all the magical powers that the fairies have. He helped Seth with his bite mark from a Demon that wants to eat him up so he can be a free demon. In this blog I will talk about specific incidents that revealed more on our new characters.

The first character I will be talking about is Vanessa, Vanessa was the first one introduced to us. Right in the beginning they revealed to us something about Vanessa's character. When Vanessa first went to go pick up Kendra and Seth to save then from Errol (part of the Society of the Evening Star) She went in a sports car that was custom made for her. This tells us that she is flamboyant and along with her car she went dressed like a "supermodel" (said Kendra). All of this tells us that she is showy and likes to be the center of attention. The second character I will be talking about is Tanu, Tanu is a potion master as I already stated. We learn a little bit of Tanu when we meet him and he shows Kendra about some basic potions. In the potion presentation Tanu talks about his life while concocting a potion. in this potion there is anger and there is shame and humiliation. Seth limitedly said he wanted anger but Tanu asks if he is positive because anger is a strong feeling. From this we learn that Tanu is cautious but later we also learn he likes a good laugh to. Third person is Coulter in his presentation we learn that he is very diligent. He ranted on and on about his collection but in the beginning he eves dropped on Seth and Kendra. He over heard about them talking about the Sphinx while where a gloved that rendered him invisible. From this we learned that he eves drop probably when working and cares about his collection.

Lastly we will talk about the Sphinx, the sphinx is a very important character and I believe we will see him in many other books. We learned that he knows how to gain people confidence and how to lower there confidence to try to get them to believe in him. We learned that he knows how to gain confidence when he let Kendra beat him a foosball and that let her be more confident. When he went against seth he lowered his confidence by beating him at it but after he told him what he did to his sister. After though he got them comfortable by treating them to a drink and solving there problems. Overall There is a lot of events that show each characters personality in this book.

Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star

Title: Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star
Author:Brandon Mull
Date: 11/3/14
Pages:100-200
Prompt: List five major events in order from which happened first to last.


In this book there have been many major events since the beginning to where I am now. The first major event that happened in the book that I have already informed you about in the recent blogs. To recap, In the beginning of the book Seth and Kendra got in a predicament with a kobold. They solved this problem with a suppose friend of a friend, of their grandpa. I don't want to go further into detail, I want you to find out. The second problem they get into is when Errol (the friend of a friend of there grandpa) tells Kendra and Seth he has another mission he could have them help him with. Then later Kendra gets in touch with there Grandpa to confirm that Errol is actually not a friend at all. That he is part of the evening star and using them to get the hidden artifacts they need.

The next problems that they faced that you have not found out are way more problematic then the others. After Kendra got the information from there grandpa, Errol called to see if they where going to go with him to help him with his problem. Kendra new though that he was not there friend, in fact he was part of the Evening Star. Here the problem is she doesn't know what to do until a car beeps out side and it really is a friend of there grandpa. The next problem is really cool the problem they had was while they where leaving they meet up whit errol and a little buddy of his or should I say big buddy.(as seen on the right) They got ambushed once they where out of sight from there parents. 

The last problem they faced so far was that when they got to Fablehaven there where men every where. Later there grandpa came out in a cast and in a wheel chair because he got in a car accident that he believes was provoked by the evening star. The men where there as in extra precaution to the evening satr knowing there identity. Overall this is a really good book as was the other one.

Narrative project

3- Imagine that it is fifty years after Montresor's crime against Fortunato has been committed. Montresor believes that he has gotten away with this crime, but suddenly new evidence has come to light. Another festival attendant recalls seeing Fortunato leave the party with Montresor. This witness hasn't come forward until now because she was afraid of what he might do; however now that she is old, she has decided that there is nothing to gain by continuing to hide his secret.

The authorities have picked up Montresor and brought him to the local police station for questioning. Write a one page dialogue that illustrates Montresor's conversation with police.

Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star 10/26/14

Title: Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star
Author:Brandon Mull
Date: 10/26/14
Pages:60- 100
Prompt: Do you like what you’re reading? Why or why not?


 Do I like what I am reading? This is a question that everyone should ask themselves when they are reading a book. I personally ask my self this question all the time in the beginning of each book. Once I find out if I would like this book in the beginning of the book. I still keep on reading to find out if I really do. I do this because once in a while you find a book that is bad in the beginning but ends up being good. Overall the book that I am reading, I am reading as a part of a series and it is in amazing book so far.

I like what I am reading a lot it is full of action, mystery, and the best of all fantasy. In the book action is involved in every part of it. There are parts where the main characters are fighting of demons,creatures, and other human beings. Mystery is mainly used with Seth (one of the main characters) Seth is a very adventures fellow and with every adventure there is a mystery that he is planning to solve. Lastly fantasy, fantasy is used throughout the whole book. Every problem that the main characters have involve fantasy in some way either they are using magic or there are mythical creatures, but fantasy is used throughout the whole book. Fantasy is the main reason why are started this series, so if you are into fantasy checkout this series.

Throughout the book I have come to like this book. In the beginning of the book it had a rough start as I was saying before some books start out bad but they progressively get better. In this book this is exactly how it started so if I where to say I didn't like this book in the beginning. After a little though it got better, so I believe I will read the next book in the series. In the end I have started to like this book.
