Explanation Toward Books The Dark Hills Divide (The Land of Elyon #1)
The Dark Hills Divide introduces readers to Alexa Daley, who annually visits the town of Bridewell. Alexa is curious about what lies beyond the massive ramparts that surround the city and the walled roads that link Bridewell to nearby towns; soon after town leader Thomas Warvold passes away, Alexa finds herself outside the walls, acquires a stone with remarkable powers, and discovers that she's meant to stop a potential war from occurring.[Author notes in a video blog at http://www.patrickcarman.com/wp-conte..., about the series reading order that the books in the original trilogy (The Dark Divide #1, Beyond The Valley of Thorns #2 and The Tenth City #3) should be read in that order and that Stargazer #4 read after the original trilogy. Otherwise is up to reader preference. Into The Mist, is a chronological prequel to the trilogy, but the story is told by characters on the boat where The Tenth City left off; it can be read before or after the original trilogy.]

This book was just okay, in my opinion. I'm not saying that the story is bad or anything. I just really didn't connect to the characters or anything. So, I won't be continuing the series.I really like this book because it is fantasy. I really don't know why i like fantasy. This book was really good because Alexa trys to save as many people as she can. She also is just a very caring person like me. The author really didn't explain much about it or what is happening in some parts. Like she told us who she was saving but like not how she saved them. Thats what I don't like about this book. I also like this book because she meets a lot of people who are like monsters but not exactly
Re-read January 2017The Bridewell library though. <3
I wasn't able to read this book every day like I usually do with novels, so for a long time I attributed my lack of interest in it's characters, and my confusion regarding the plot, to the fact that I wasn't able to keep the flow. But the more I read the more confused I got (I was actually intrigued at the beginning) and the end left me scratching my head wondering what the point of the story was.Like I said, the beginning was intriguing, governmental type meeting, a suspicious death, a riddle,

The wall separates the wild untamed wilderness from the civilized cities and towns. Spyglasses are banned from the town. People treat curiosity towards the outside world as dangerous and harmful. When a series of events leads Alexa
My favorite part was when the walls were taken down so that the families of animals that were separated when the walls went up could be reunited. My least favorite part was when the magic stone's powers went away so that not Alexa cannot listen and talk to animals anymore. I was surprised when it turned out to be Ganesh who was Sebastian, I thought it would be someone else. I was disappointed when Sam and Pepper turned out to be traitors as well, because they are cats and I like cats. I was
Ive wanted to read this book since I first came upon it, however I didnt feel the story lived up to the beautiful cover. The main character is Alexa, who at 12 years old stands a little over 4 feet tall and longs to discover what is beyond the walls surrounding her town. Using clues left behind for her, Alexa discovers tunnels into the wilderness and befriends animals who reveal a plot to destroy her home. The biggest problem I had with this book was that it was an information overload, without
