The second in the series, Rise of the Evening Star, picks up with Kendra and Seth anxiously awaiting the end of the school year so that they can return to the preserve. Upon arriving they meet three new characters. One can make you sleep walk and control your actions, one is a potion master and the other is able to speak with fairies. Kendra and Seth quickly learn that those who wish to cause harm to the magical preserves have heard of them and are plotting to gain control over them.

In this book Seth steps up and shows that even though he is still incredibly young and immature, his adventurous nature will benefit all those at Fablehaven.

If you read the first one and enjoyed it, then you should read this one. Both are quiet entertaining and worth a read. But I warn you, read them in order, it helps.
