3.0 out of 5 stars Curse of the Spider King, Nov 16 2009

By	Valerie Comer - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Curse of the Spider King: The Berinfell Prophecies Series - Book One (Hardcover)

Curse of the Spider King is the first in a fantasy trilogy for middle grade readers. It's cowritten by Wayne Thomas Batson and Christopher Hopper, both of whom have books of their own out as well.

The Berinfell Prophecies is a series about seven 13-year olds from various parts of Earth who find each other in a mysterious way and are gathered together to grasp their destiny. They're really elves who were brought here as infants to protect them from the Spider King when he ransacked the elven kingdom, Allyra. Now that they're teens their powers are revealed and the Spider King has rediscovered their whereabouts. To quash them will eliminate the hope of the elf remnant in Allyra, but those who've been watching over the growing children are determined to see their charges safely home.

This wasn't my favorite book of the year, I'm sorry to say. Of course, I'm not 13 either. But with seven main characters plus the flashbacks to Allyra plus some scenes in the Spider King's minions' point-of-view (plus at least one non-elf kid), I found the story too fractured to hold my attention. There's just way too many pages between sections of each teen in my opinion.

Still, Batson's previous books are extremely popular with young readers and I'm sure many of them will devour The Berinfell Prophecies just as avidly. (Hopper's previous books are aimed at adults.)

For the record, I very rarely give 5 stars and am sparing with 4. At 3 stars, I feel this book is an averagely decent read.
