The Haven Revolution by Simon Lelic
Apr. 15th, 2020 10:25 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
When pupils start going missing from a prestigious boarding school, Ollie Turner knows it’s a job for the Haven.
Below the city streets, the Haven is a hideout for kids, run by kids.
Ollie and the Haven’s Investigations Team put their lives on the line, going undercover to find the missing children. But little do they realise that a deadly enemy awaits them - one with plans to destroy everything they hold dear.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The second in Simon Lelic’s THE HAVEN SERIES for readers aged 11+ is another fast-paced action thriller filled with high stakes and jeopardy. However, while Lelic does tackle some of the unbelievable developments from THE HAVEN, plenty more emerge in this book and it still suffers from a lack of character depth that leaves side characters as pretty much interchangeable and the antagonists are cartoonishly drawn such that I’m not sure I’d read on.
