skconaghan 's review for:

The Silver Mask by Holly Black, Cassandra Clare
3.0
adventurous dark mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I mean, keep in mind that these are written for young teens. That is the target age, and I appreciate the innocence involved in the stories despite the themes of evil and dark magic. Fun adventure for boys, but nothing super special.
