Havenfall by Sara Holland | Spoiler-Free Review

I was provided an ARC of this book from Bloomsbury Publishing in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the publisher for sending me a copy!

3.5 Stars — Havenfall by Sara Holland was a fun escape from reality. It was different than what I was expecting and mostly took place in this “between” world that was a portal to many different fantastical worlds as well as the real world. It almost reads like a modern fairytale! Although the beginning was a bit slow for me, as we were learning all about the different realms and magic, the last third of the book really picked up and piqued my interest! I do wish we had a little more character development because I didn’t feel that I connected with any one of the characters very well, but not because they just didn’t mesh well with me. It was more because I didn’t feel I got enough of a feel for who they really were. I am definitely interested in seeing what happens next in this story and hope that we see some growth from our main characters! This is unlike anything I’ve read before and I can’t wait to see what happens in book 2!
