Review: Great YA read

I think book 1 in this series was slightly better, but this was definitely enjoyable. It is a pleasure when an author, especially a new one to me, continues to deliver on later books in a series. I will happily read more in this series - the story definitely isn't over, so I assume there will be at least one more book. I am a mom of 2 and read a fair amount of YA literature to keep in touch with what my kids are reading. I will be recommending this series to my kids.All that praise is well deserved, but I do want to say that this book follows the formula of youngster that saves the day, sometimes entirely on her own. It is easy to overdo that sort of thing, but the protagonist does have to cope with problems that a more experienced person or a larger group could have avoided. This makes the story easier to believe in for me even when pieces seem a bit implausible.
