I've finished Haven: A Stranger Magic by D.C. Akers just yesterday. Let me just say right now that if you are thinking about reading this and you can read the books for Kindle somehow, you should just go download it now because it is currently free here. It was very short and very good which is probably why I finished it so quickly. I really enjoyed this book. It's about a sort of ordinary boy that sees a stranger outside his house one night. After that night, it seems like everything in his life starts to change. Like I said, the book isn't very long and seems to be just sort of setting up the story and also hinting at what will come next. That means that it ends with a pretty major cliffhanger which was fantastic, but also frustrating because the next book hasn't come out yet. I just want to know what happens next! The characters are all quite good. I like Sam a lot and his friend Travis seems to be really interesting although he isn't in the book that much. Sam's sister, Sarah is also interesting because after she was characterized as a mean, popular sister I thought she would just be that. But she's not. I don't know what's going to end up happening with her; perhaps she'll go on an adventure with her brother (at least that's what I'm expecting). I mainly just want to know what it going to happen with the whole other worlds/magic/Sam's parents' old life part of the story. I really love the whole idea of magic having to do with both the elements and the zodiac signs. I know that zodiac signs are associated with the elements so I'm guessing that it has something to do with that. I absolutely love the cover of the book as well. The colors are fantastic and the symbol for water on the front is really nice. It feels to me quite similar to the elements from Avatar: The Last Airbender except different in its own unique way. The symbol is close to the one for water from that too seen here. That is probably because that's the general symbol for water. I do actually really like the association that I make with Avatar: The Last Airbender because that is my favorite show and it's nice to have a book that somewhat relates that has a different plot. Anyway, I just really liked it a lot and can't wait for the next one. I highly recommend this book to people that like magic and things like that, but really if you're even slightly interested, I'd give it a go because it's free on Amazon right now.
