Rise of the Evening Star is the second entry in the Fablehaven series, and Seth and Kendra's entry into the world of Fablehaven continues. While the first book focuses just upon the Fablehaven preserve, Rise of the Evening Star expands upon the world in which it resides. While many of the challenges presented to the protagonists in the first book are self made, in this novel the challenges and foes come from an evil society aligned against the interests of the preserve. The level of intrigue and misdirection created by the antagonists makes for some interesting twists and turns throughout the story, and kept me turning the pages long after I should have gone to sleep for the night.
