It was a fast-paced and easy read for all ages. It was a perfect sequel to Sky Raiders and picked up right where the last book left off. This novel was beautifully written, creative, and even very funny at times. I was constantly surprised by where the story was going and was completely caught off guard by one key plot twist.

I really enjoyed reading The Rogue Knight. Meanwhile, Cole attempts to defend Mira and himself with his Jumping Sword which is glowing. It shows the Rogue Knight swinging at Cole and Mira with his sword. His books tend to have this strange characteristic of sounding absolutely terrible and goofy, at least until you start reading and engaging with the story. My favorite series from him is the Beyonders series, closely followed by Fablehaven and Candy Shop War. He is an amazing author who I've enjoyed reading basically everything from. The Rogue Knight is the second book in the Five Kingdoms Series, the first book being Sky Raiders. I can't wait for the next one, but then, I guess I have to. Thankfully, while this book follows a similar pattern if the first (looking for a lost sister who is separated from her gifts) it doesn't end the same way, or work in the same way as the first, so we definitely don't have a boring formula on our hands. (yes, I should have gone and read some to figure it out, but by then the action had gotten going and I didn't want to stop. I know that's a small thing, but I like to picture books while I read them, and because I could't remember them (Jace most of all!) it slowed me down a bit. I wish I had read the first one right before this one because, while the author does catch you up on what is happening action-wise, he doesn't remind you of what the characters look like. But, yes, I pre-ordered this one so I could start reading it right when it was released and I have to say, it's definitely a keeper on my really good book shelf. Okay, this cover makes a 33 year old lady super embarrassed to read it~ seriously, I should be ashamed of myself.
