Havenfall is a YA fantasy centered around a mysterious inn in the mountains of Colorado. Maddie's Uncle Marcus is the Innkeeper at Havenfall, a remote location where worlds converge. When Marcus is injured, Maddie must take over and manage the delegates at the annual multiverse summit. It is a job she has dreamed of obtaining, but her desire is diminished and her mettle challenged when some troubling circumstances arise.
Havenfall is a great YA fantasy read. It's imaginative, has good writing and interesting characters, and holds so many possibilities. The narrative reads easily and has a fascinating premise, along with good execution of that premise. The plot moves well and there were good moments of intrigue. I enjoyed the cast of characters and felt the central focus to be well-developed for a first novel in a series with plenty of room to grow and continue.
Admittedly, the "twists" in the plot were mostly easy to foresee, but I still enjoyed the journey from beginning to end. There were definitely a few pieces that contained plot holes...or maybe rather just ignorance on the part of the characters, but overall it was still and entertaining and enjoyable read and there are still things that I want to know more about.
The world development has a lot of potential and starts off nicely for the first in what I hope will be more than a duology. The ending of this installment was satisfying, but definitely leaves a lot of room for additional series plots. There is so much here to explore! I will definitely be continuing the series and I am curious as to where the author will take things.
