Review by: Mrs. B on Sep. 27, 2012 :
I just finished August Fortress and I feel like an addict. In less than a week, I re-read the Key of Kilenya and the Ember Gods to refresh my memory and then August Fortress. I kept trying to limit my reading time, but the nail-biting suspense had me hooked. I now know that I can’t let my 13 year old son read it until a weekend comes up where he has no homework or chores! Jacob is a typical teenager with worries about school, friendships, sports, attractions, and being far too busy. Added to all this is another life only his family knows about, where he has superhero type powers that he doesn’t understand and monsters to conquer. He rarely has time to rest as he tries to help people of another world survive. Fortunately, this is a series, so I can go back to my own busy life – until the next one comes out!

Review by: Karl Pearson on Aug. 11, 2012 :
This book, the 3rd in the series, is a very good read. I would recommend anyone with kids of whatever age they are, if they can read. I would almost guarantee they will enjoy this series. If they don't, they probably also don't like any of these series either: Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, or Fablehaven, which I have also read and enjoyed. I'm an older kid at age 57.

I'm not much on giving summaries of what I read, so if that makes this review disappointing, then accept my apologies. That's why I put comparisons of the other series. You will get a good idea of what my recommendation means. The Kilenya Series is as good as the others, without as many loose strings as Harry Potter left, and I haven't even read the entire series. Of course, that's because it's not done yet. I wish it was because my patience is wearing thin waiting.

You'll find a Smashing Read in the Kilenya Series. Honest.

August Fortress, Kilenya Series Book Three was just as fabulous as the first two. Andrea Pearson is a wonderful YA Fantasy writer. I thoroughly enjoyed her books and now my kids are doing so. The story line keeps going. No lulls (which I detest) and it gave a desire to keep reading! Good story line, realistic characters, wide age range of interest.
