Island of Graves (The Unwanteds)

This was hands down my favorite Unwanteds book. The battle scene was epic. However, I liked it most for Aaron. I was rooting for him since the Island of Silence. I was surprised it was Aaron who did all the things I expected Alex to do. Meghan was absent in this story, I'm not sure why, but I can tell she'll return in the 7th book. I also wouldn't be surprised Mr. Today decides to return.

I enjoyed the first five books in this series, but ad to give up on this one only a quarter of the way through. The plot is just too unrealistic; many of the decisions made by major characters are stupid and annoying, and all respect gained for them in earlier books is completely lost.

This is the 6th book in the Unwanteds series. The 7th book is supposed to release in 2016 and will be titled Island of Dragons. This was an excellent addition to the series and wraps up some big items in the story.

Aaron finds himself adrift and injured, rescued by those inhabiting the Island of Shipwrecks. He has survived but he has many lessons to learn if he is going to make a living with these people on this storm plagued island. Meanwhile Alex has to choose between the people of Artime and rescuing Aaron. When Gondoleery Rattrapp proves to be a bigger threat than ever, Alex is forced to stay on the island of Quill and come up with a plan to deal with her once and for all.

The story switches POV between Aaron and Alex. We hear from Alex more than Aaron. Usually I don’t enjoy Aaron’s parts much but he goes through a lot of trials and changes in this book, so I found his parts to be even more interesting than Alex’s.

Alex is still struggling with being a good leader for Artime and balancing his friendships as well. Him and Sky are on the outs, but Alex is working to try and understand how to do all he needs to do without alienating his friends.

We meet an awesome new character when Alex and Sky run into someone from America on the gorilla island. As the rescued girl and Alex and Sky talk they try to solve the mystery of the Islands and the relationship of these Islands to America.

This is a massive book and a lot happens in here. There are a lot of changes both for the island of Quill and for Alex and Aaron. The book was fast-paced and hard to put down. My eight year old son read this as well and really enjoyed it.

Overall this was an excellent continuation of the Unwanteds series. A lot happens in this book. I continue to enjoy the awesome world-building and interesting characters throughout this series. I would definitely recommend the Unwanteds to those who enjoy fantasy and adventure in their stories.

All though it didnt happen in this book rather the one before, massive kudos to the author for having the strength to kill off a main character in a devastating way shocking me myself and other people most likely, I hvent read the reviews of the ast book but i bet there was some backlash about that factor. Also this book is worth the money just to see aaron change as a character, i would recommend the series to anyone and will remember it as long as i live. This sets up nicely to the final book but due to that I can only give it a four, almost as bad as deathly hallows part 1 (the movie) At the end of the day there isnt too much action which some ppl prefer but it is painfully obvious its all going into the finale.

This book is one I will never forget. With twists and turns everywhere throughout the story, it will leave the reader hooked to find out what happens next. This book would be for those who are looking for adventure, fun, and a bit of mischief.
