August Fortress by Andrea Pearson

Jacob must lead an expedition to August Fortress to free the Shiengols. The path there is loaded with traps set by the Lorkon. This time their senses are lost one by one as they go, making the chance of success very low.

I usually read one chapter a night to the boys. We were down to two chapters and I asked if they wanted me to read both in one night. They very excitedly said yes. I was happy to oblige. It was all I could do not to read ahead on my own. I wanted to know what happened to Jacob and his friends! That the traps caused them to lose their senses one at a time was quite clever. My boys and I enjoyed this one possibly more than the previous two Kilenya books. I very highly recommend reading August Fortress (read the first two books first!). This series makes an excellent read-aloud.
