Post a Comment On: Steps

This is a small young adult book that feels like almost every other young adult series.

The Dark Hills Divide[Image] introduces us to the Land of Elyon and our main character, Alexa Daley. Her father is leader of one of the 4 towns in the walled areas. Everything outside the walls are considered wild.

Through a series of unfortunate events, Alexa is thrust headlong into a coming crisis. She meets up with some talking animals (made possible by a magical stone) who inform her that angry prisoners are planning to invade their towns.

These prisoners are lead by a man named Sabastian. The trick is, we, along with Alexa, have no idea who Sabastian is and part of the fun is figuring out his identity.

I think there might be a religious tie-in seeing as Elyon is mentioned (Elyon is a name for God).

We'll have to see how this series pans out.
