Review of 'Darkhaven' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
This was advertised as a murdery mystery in a fantasy setting. While that is technically true, at least to me there was no mystery at all. As soon as the characters were introduced I roughly knew where the book was headed and I turned out to be completely correct.
When starting the book I didn't know this was YA, but it became clear quite soon. Everything is rather simplistic and geared more toward the Y instead of the A. Still, my fault for picking it up, I guess.
Overall this is not a bad book, if you're the target audience. Which I am most decidedly not.
