sarah rees brennan in other lands sequel

It's a novel about surviving four years in the most unusual of schools, about friendship, falling in love, diplomacy, and finding your own place in the world-even if it means giving up your phone. In Other Lands is the exhilarating new book from beloved and bestselling author Sarah Rees Brennan. There's even the chance Elliot might be able to change the world. On the other hand, there's Serene-Heart-in-the-Chaos-of-Battle, an elven warrior who is more beautiful than anyone Elliot has ever seen, and then there's her human friend Luke: sunny, blond, and annoyingly likeable. It turns out that on the other side of the wall, classes involve a lot more weaponry and fitness training and fewer mermaids than he expected. When his class goes on a field trip and he can see a wall that no one else can see, he is given the chance to go to school in the Borderlands. He's smart and just a tiny bit obnoxious. Elliot? Who's Elliot? Elliot is thirteen years old. (Ballpoint pens are okay.) There are elves, harpies, and-best of all as far as Elliot is concerned-mermaids. Don't try to smuggle a phone or any other piece of technology over the wall that marks the Border-unless you enjoy a fireworks display in your backpack. I don't plan on continuing with the series.The Borderlands aren't like anywhere else.

Overall an okay book, but I wasn't all that engaged in the story and found that whole thing to be too predictable. I also liked that this wasn't really 'romance' focused but was focused more on family, friendship, and what it means to be human.

I did enjoy the creative take on demons and their interaction with humans and our world this was a bit different than other YA demon themed urban fantasies I have read. There is some action, mystery, and of course demonic elements. He is a little disappointed by the facilities on the Border, but he gets to meet Serene-Heart-In-The-Chaos-Of-Battle, an elf warrior, and Luke Sunborn, an annoyingly brave human warrior native to the magical land he’s crossed into. It’s pretty dark for a YA novel, but not awfully so. Elliot Schafer has been carried off to a magical land and called to fight but he has no intention of doing so. The story is about a couple brothers that are fleeing a cult of evil mages that are after their insane mother. I would recommend listening to on audiobook if you enjoy audiobooks. I listened to this on audiobook and the narration was fine I didn’t really love it or hate it.

Elliot Schafer is a small-for-his-age 13-year-old who is prone to. I kept hoping for something to happen that I didn't expect and it never did. Big Mouth House, 19.95 (432p) ISBN 978-1-61873-120-3. It's a fairly dark story, and while I didn't hate it, it was incredibly predictable. This is the first book in the Demon’s Lexicon trilogy.
