The Great Forest by Valinora Troy

MG Fantasy, 2023 by Disresponsible Nodpots, 198 Pages 

What I Didn’t Like:

• There’s a lot going on since the kids are not all together. This requires you to really focus and keep track.
• Repetition. Some ideas are repeated, which is common in middle grade. It can get mildly annoying.

What I Did Like:

• Great characters behaving like actual children. They make childlike decisions that kids will understand. It’s wonderful! 
• Adventure. This book, like the ones before it, is packed with plenty of adventure and danger. 
• Excellent ending to the trilogy. Each book has added something but this one just caps the journey beautifully. 

Who Should Read This One:

• MG adventure fans will appreciate this entire series. Start with The Lucky Diamond and enjoy! 
• MG fantasy fans will love the world building of this trilogy!

My Rating: 5 Stars

Well balanced and sure to appeal to a mass audience.
